User acceptance is key for the adoption of a new technology. In this work we experiment with a novel service for tutors in workplace learning settings.

It has the potential to foster the understanding of emotions in shared discussions in learning environments, detect group dynamics as well as the impact of certain topics on learners' sentiments.
