Introduction • How an agent has been incorporated as an evaluation component into a knowledge-based authoring tool for educational games • VR-Integate: Authoring Tool • VR-Engage: Intelligent Tutoring System(ITS)
VR-Integate • Generates ITSs that function as Virtual Reality Games • The ITSs include mechanisms such as • Student Modeling • Adaptive Tutoring • VR-Games are more • engaging • Motivating
VR-Engage • An ITS with a Virtual Reality Game front end • Students navigate inside a labyrinth trying to collect the “Book of Wisdom” • They read new parts of the course’s theory • They are tested on the course’s theory

Student Model • Retention Capabilities • User Interface Adaptation • Courses’ History (when, what, results)

Conclusions • Feedback for the efficiency of the educational software can be received during the design process • Students do not face possible design mistakes of the author, since these can be spotted and corrected beforehand
