Though e-learning is being debated to have some advantages over person to person teaching, the latter is considered to be superior with respect to the effectiveness of teaching. One of the reasons for this advantage of human expert tutors is their ability to deal with the emotional aspects of the learner. We introduce an emotion sensitive e- learning model which is sensitive to both emotional aspects as well as the learning ability of the learner. This is a major difference with the other similar attempts to make effective e-learning systems and the preliminary analyses indicate considerable promise. We hope this would complement the effectiveness of e-learning.
