Description

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.

What does success look like as a student?

In this short film, students in higher education across Ireland reflect on confidence, perseverance, first-time experiences, learning, and the small moments that can make a big difference.

The student voices featured here were gathered through the HEA Student Success Survey and Focus Groups in 2025 and are shared in their own words.

The animations are creative interpretations of those reflections, imagined and produced by second-year Animation students at Dún Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design and Technology (IADT).

From communicating in a second language to returning to education as a mature student, overcoming anxiety, and simply choosing not to quit, these stories explore the many ways success can be experienced.

Even small moments in college can be a success. What are yours?
