Abstract

Training students to identify Fake News with digital educational games (DEG) is an initiative that has produced good results. However, considering that each student has his/her own learning characteristics, this work questions whether the use of intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) combined with such DEG can contribute to improving these games in effectively training their players to detect Fake News. In order to obtain evidence to answer the research question raised, this paper reports the development of an ITS combined with JEDi, a DEG created to train students to identify false pieces of News. Experiments report initial results that can be used to improve the proposed combination.
