Blog | Artificial Intelligence, Learning Games, and the Potential to Connect, Engage, and Support STEM Learners
If you are as old as I am, or at least familiar with games as old as I am, you’ll know that many of the early computer games were text adventures. These games involved setting you on a narrative drive quest, with the ability to provide two-word commands on how to interact with the environment. Commands like “GO WEST” and “LIFT TABLE” were quite common. To me, these worlds were equally fascinating…
