Sumario:The social and physical distancing and the rapid transition to remote learning during pandemics had an impact on children’s life regarding educational activities and well being. In this context, the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) field has faced challenges to design and evaluate computational systems, especially those for learning scenarios. In this paper, we propose an evaluation instrument considering socio-affective aspects of the experience, and present results from a pilot study to evaluate the Aquarela Virtual system. The Aquarela Virtual allows remotely situated children to interact with others by using physical objects related to a children’s song, and emoticons to express their emotions. Based on findings of these evaluations, we provide insights on: a) improvements to be done in the system; b) aspects still to be covered by an evaluation instrument. Even considering the pandemic is now over, hybrid systems such as the Aquarela Virtual system came to stay, and so the need of evaluation instruments such as the proposed one remains.
