Lecture by Apostolos Spanos, University of Agder (Norway), in the History@Play series.

How can we integrate AI with game-based learning and flipped classroom to create an attractive university course on historical consciousness? ChronoSpace is a project aimed at achieving this goal by developing an AI-assisted mixed-reality cooperative game. Our goal is to enhance student engagement and learning by implicitly motivate and challenge them as players. This presentation will explore the concept and address the challenges associated with designing, developing, and implementing the game.
