StoryLensEdu: Personalized Learning Report Generation through Narrative-Driven Multi-Agent Systems

Abstract: Personalized feedback plays an important role in self-regulated learning (SRL), helping students track progress and refine their strategies. However, current common solutions, such as text-based reports or learning analytics dashboards, often suffer from poor interpretability, monotonous presentation, and limited explainability. To overcome these challenges, we present StoryLensEdu, a narrative-driven multi-agent system that automatically generates intuitive, engaging, and interactive learning reports. StoryLensEdu integrates three agents: a Data Analyst that extracts data insights based on a learning objective centered structure, a Teacher that ensures educational relevance and offers actionable suggestions, and a Storyteller that organizes these insights using the Heroes Journey narrative framework. StoryLensEdu supports post-generation interactive question answering to improve explainability and user engagement. We conducted a formative study in a real high school and iteratively developed StoryLensEdu in collaboration with an e-learning team to inform our design. Evaluation with real users shows that StoryLensEdu enhances engagement and promotes a deeper understanding of the learning process.
