This document discusses improving the process of preparing learning simulations. Previously, preparation was fully manual across design, configuration, and run time. The proposed ImREAL system aims to augment this by providing storytelling and storyboarding modules to assist with design time, recognizing users and allowing self-regulated learning for configuration time, and offering adaptive content and tutoring for run time. Next steps include fully implementing storytelling and experimenting with preparing real content using storyboarding.
