Abstract: Using computer games for educational purposes is a compelling idea that is increasingly adopted by researchers, developers, and educators. Still, digital educational games are at an early stage. A crucial factor that must be increasingly addressed by future research is a personalization of learning and gaming experiences in the rich virtual worlds of computer games. In the present paper we introduce an approach to combine frameworks of psycho-pedagogical adaptation, interactive storytelling, and emergent game design in order to provide the individual learners with tailored learning experiences without corrupting the game's storyline and without requiring massive content production.
