This resource presents AVINA, an automated visual novel generator using large language models to transform multiple-choice questions into interactive learning narratives. Designed for educators and students, it supports gamified training in academic integrity and ethical decision-making through adaptive storytelling and experiential learning.
Benefit of this resource and how to make the best use of it
The AVINA resource enables educators and academic developers to transform traditional multiple-choice assessments into interactive, story-based learning experiences. By converting question sets into narrative pathways, it supports deeper engagement with topics such as academic integrity, research ethics, and professional decision-making.
Educators can integrate AVINA into their modules to complement lectures or online training, offering students a dynamic way to explore ethical dilemmas and critical thinking. Instructional designers may adapt the framework to other domains—such as sustainability, data ethics, or digital literacy—by simply replacing the question bank and modifying the narrative context.
Used in workshops, tutorials, or self-directed learning environments, AVINA promotes reflective discussion, enhances digital fluency, and allows students to learn through consequences and scenario-based reasoning—making complex ethical concepts both relatable and memorable.

This poster offers educators an overview of designing a syllabus on the Canvas learning management system that supports personalised learning pathways. It highlights (1) a gamified pedagogy grounded in gaming principles and (2) adaptive learning strategies using MasteryPaths.
In 2018, the Glucksman Library at the University of Limerick launched Leganto, a reading list management tool designed to streamline access to academic resources for students. Leganto ensures equitable access to academic content, helping students engage with reliable sources and easing their transition into university-level study.
This toolkit draws on our experiences facilitating a SATLE-funded community-engaged learning project that brought students of the School of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures (UCC) together with people in Cork seeking international protection for a series of three wellbeing and creativity workshops.
The HEA Education for Sustainable Development Spotlight Series 2025: Case Studies Compendium brings together 115 case studies from higher education institutions across Ireland. It showcases how universities and colleges are integrating sustainability and the UN Sustainable Development Goals into teaching, research, curriculum design, assessment practices and community engagement. It offers a comprehensive picture of national ESD activity and provides an accessible resource for educators and policymakers seeking examples of practice-based innovation.
