Abstract

Drug addiction amongst Afghan children is a major social menace. This paper proposes an innovative virtual learning environment that will offer a promising deterrent against drug abuse at schools. The system comprises of an intelligent tutoring layer and a story generator. The former offers a customized learning on drug addiction to children and the later engages them in a coherent story generation. To measure success, usability and pedagogical evaluations will be carried out in lab and at Afghan schools consecutively.
