Abstract

This paper describes research on designing a tangible system for collaborative storytelling, which addresses preschool children. The first part of the work focused on creating a tangible interface, for children aged four to five years, proposing to create a playful experimental space where children can collaboratively engage in creating their own multimedia narratives. Further research proposes to carry a long term study with a group of 25 five preschoolers interacting with the developed tangible system, trying to investigate how physical interaction and collaboration might influence and shape cognitive and social processes in real classroom settings. We describe the design process, as well as the final system, and report findings from a first preliminary study.
