Abstract

Abstract: Incorporating e-learning technology in a college implies, not only the technology knowledge itself, but also a different emotional state that students and teachers involved in the process may live. Any academic experience implies social interaction, interpersonal communication and emotional transactions: friendship feelings, joy, happiness, love, confidence and a feeling of success can be some of the positive ones. While frustration, failure, shyness, envy and rivalry can play a negative role. This research describes the emotional and interpersonal states lived among 123 students and teachers involved in a distance learning experience from three of the most important Mexican Universities with distance learning programs: UNAM, IPN and ITESM. An hybrid methodology was employed: an open survey as a research technique and a qualitative-quantitative analysis of data obtained. Results show that interpersonal and emotional experiences play a very important role while succeeding or failing a distance learning program.
