Ideally, each student should receive personalized support that is tailored to their specific learning style. However, with limited resources and time available to educators and teaching facilities, personalized support is often infeasible. To address this issue, this project focuses on a learning system that uses artificially intelligent agents to provide students with personalized feedback and support. To further engage students, the system is built on top of an existing narrative game environment called Gridlock. Gridlock provides students with a narrative game experience that focuses on creating

It appeared that the college environment was a greater predictor of success compared tobackground characteristics or precollege experiences. The study also indicated that the collegeenvironment makes students less sure of their motivation to achieve.

Under the umbrella of active learning,however, a large variety of different (and sometimes contradictory) methodologies have beenproposed; including project-based learning, problem-based learning, gamification, tinkering,collaborative learning, class competitions, and many others. As educators become more interestedin student-centered pedagogies, the question of which specific techniques are most effective isincreasingly important.Because active learning is still an emerging paradigm, the number of studies examining distinctapproaches is somewhat limited, and the difficulty of isolating those techniques in the classroomenvironment is a recognized concern. 1 In this paper, we wish to contribute to the growing pool
