Beneath the tip of the iceberg: technology plumbs the affective learning domain

Until very recently, it has been prohibitively expensive and impractical to attempt to develop learning technologies that mapped to the affective domain. Now there's a broad category of products known as Affective Computing and a specific product category called Affective Learning Technology. Both are being used to develop products designed for the affective learning domain. In the corporate sector, affective learning technologies are now beyond the research phase and are proliferating rapidly. These major factors are driving the adoption of affective learning technology products in the enterprise: 1. workforce alignment, 2. workforce selection and retention, 3. workplace ethics, 4. customer analytics, and 5. public safety and national security.
