Abstract
Adaptivity has long been a key demand for e-learning, but is still far from being an understood feature in game-based learning. Simply transferring paradigms from adaptive e-learning does not suffice, as digital games are highly interactive real-time systems. We are implementing an educational game with real-time adaptivity, based on a generic architecture. The game frequently adapts to over- and under-performers at runtime. After completion, the adaptivity component will be subject to layered evaluation and a controlled trial.
