Intelligent Tutoring Systems and Adaptive Learning

Virtual worlds in education, intelligent tutorial systems, and learning analytics – all these are current buzz words in recent educational research. In this paper we introduce ProNIFA, a tool to support theory-grounded learning analytics developed in the context of the European project Next-Tell. Concretely we describe a log file analysis and presentation module to enable teachers making effectively use of educational scenarios in virtual worlds such as OpenSimulator or Second Life.
