Core Concepts

The player may choose modules, or focus on individual courses, similar to a course catalog. Since the game (or straight-forward ai tutoring, option to drop the game layer with one click) is complex, adaptive, and ai-driven, both test-questions as well as subject content reframe in real time, adjusting to the player/student’s level of performance. This ensures content is presented at the appropriate pace, challenging but not out of reach. The player may extend a level or course indefinitely, as the AI Tutor is able to browse the web, adding unique lesson material, discovering new games and apps. Further, levels may be repeated, selecting new courses, or advanced topics from within the same subject. In this case, the game rewrites play to present a new story along the same lines, but tailored to the new material.

For example, within law are many topic areas, such as Immigration Law, Constitutional Law, or Criminal Law. A storyline or gameplay may evolve following an immigrant family seeking a better life or asylum from tyranny, thus presenting one backdrop to discuss complex social issues overlaid onto legal considerations.

Conversely, the player may replay the section at any time, even before exams, with an opposing storyline, such as uncontrolled immigration, criminal acts and offenses being committed, immigration control, law enforcement and prosecution.

These optional, alternative scenarios give the player exposure to multiple viewpoints and perspectives, allowing education of complex social problems without partisan bias or coloring distractions from the significant, highly-charged issues being analyzed. In this case, cultural differences may be understood, lessening racial and religious tensions, and the likely resulting conflict inherent in different societies coming together suddenly.

Further, the player can repeat ‘courses’ or topic areas multiple times, either for deepening understanding, or simply diversity in experiencing well-crafted storytelling. Each run-through or iteration is different, sometimes involving interactive player choices/input, as questions and ethical or moral dilemmas arise, just as a personal tutor or classroom teacher would do, in order to draw out meaningful discussion and inquiry.
