Abstract
The Data2Game project investigates how the efficacy of computerized training games can be enhanced by tailoring training scenarios to the individual player. The research is centered around three research innovations: (1) techniques for the automated modelling of players’ affective states, based on exhibited social signals, (2) techniques for the automated generation of in-game narratives tailored to the learning needs of the player, and (3) validated studies on the relation of the player behavior and game properties to learning performance. This paper describes the integration of the main results into a joint prototype.
