Abstract
The intelligent agent based systems have existed for many years, only recently its surge of mainstream popularity motivated researchers to acknowledge its educational value. With the increasing usage of educational games, using intelligent agents in the game to provide reliable personalized services has become more critical. Quiz game is a game genre which is easy to develop and doesn’t have limitation to any subject and user group. Multi-agent based system is flexible and can save resource. This research designs a quiz game based on multi-agent architecture, the game is therefore so-called multi-agent based Quiz-MASter. Beside the quiz game, this paper also presents a framework of personalized assessment game. With the Quiz-MASter and the framework, the instructors can aware of students’ playing status and experiences while the students playing the game and don’t feel that they are taking exam/quiz at all.
