This incorporated narrative in an attempt to provide a rich and engaging learning experience for first year undergraduate students studying a computer architecture unit at Manchester Metropolitan University. The main problem addressed was how to ensure that the ILE would appeal to students who found the domain difficult and to increase their learning and motivation to learn. A design approach has been developed which aims to address these issues using a narrative based framework. The ILE is (briefly) described and an initial evaluation of its use presented. The paper concludes by identifying the aspects of the ILE, which appealed to the students. %@ 1-58113-836-9
