Abstract
The promise of Narrative Interactive Learning Environments is that, somehow, the various notions of narrative can be harnessed to support learning in a manner that adds significantly to the effectiveness of learning environments. Here, we briefly review what has been achieved, and seek to identify the most productive paths along which researchers need to travel if we are to make the most of the insights that are currently available to us.
