Popis: This paper discusses the issues in designing intelligent tutors, and presents an intelligent tutoring system developed for an educational bioscience game, called Virtual Cell, which is an immersive 3-dimensional environment that helps students learn Cellular Biology. A comprehensive and adaptable goal system capable of meeting the requirements of students with different knowledge levels is proposed. Our solution is characterized by: (1) supporting multi-user collaborations and competitive play; (2) leveraging novel data mining techniques specifically tailored to meet our needs; and (3) incorporating mini-games as complementary tutoring resources. The overarching aim is to make informed tutoring decisions, and improve student learning and efficiency, as they work through each module in the game.
