چکیده
This paper discusses the introduction of personalized explorable visual narratives into the Technology Enhanced Learning domain, which were used by 233 students as part of their undergraduate degree program during two successive academic years.

It highlights the impact that the personalized explorable visual narratives had on the students with poor levels of engagement with course content, by instilling behavioral change through visual narrative interactions, which ultimately motivated them to improve their engagement levels.
