Annie: Automated Generation of Adaptive Learner Guidance for Fun Serious Games

This paper describes some of the difficulties inherent in building intelligent educational games, specifically the challenge of integrating pedagogy with core game play. We introduce a plan-based knowledge representation that provides a novel framework for infusing the core mechanic of a game with pedagogical content. We describe in detail a system that leverages this framework to dynamically adapt a game to individual learners at run-time.
