The E-Learn–World Conference on E-Learning in Corporate, Government, Healthcare, & Higher Education is an international conference organized by the Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education (AACE) and co-sponsored by the International Journal on E-Learning.

The last edition was organized in Vancouver (Canada) and brought experts in these fields from around the world. The use of web 2.0 tools in learning scenarios, open resources and evaluation were among the main themes of the sessions.

Our team presented a paper where we showed the first steps that the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya is following in its effort to introduce the affective dimension in the core of the e-learning design process. We believe that our first stages could be useful for other institutions interested to include the affective dimension within the design of their online environment. We have concluded that three steps should be the starting point: a specific methodology to gather affective information, a set of general affective principles to guide designers’ tasks and “testing & playing” with new tools and methodologies already available in the market.
