NewtonianTalk: Integration of Physics Playground and AutoTutor using GIFT
Matthew Ventura, Xiangen Hu, Benjamin D. Nye, Weinan Zhao · AIED Workshops · 2015
Despite the popularity of games, there has been limited peerreviewed literature published on game-based learning for science. This paper will de- scribe a project that combined an Intelligent Tutoring System (AutoTutor) with a physics game called Physics Playground. As part of this integration we used the Generalized Intelligent Framework for Tutoring (GIFT) to manage commu- nication between the two technologies. We will also discuss the design of a study comparing two versions of the integration. This study is taking place over Spring of 2015 and will be studying the effects of integrating different levels of tutoring into a gamebased learning system.
