Abstract

This paper presents an experience report concerning the use of a platform
called “Storium” in the subject of “Interactive Fiction” for undergraduate
students, from a Digital Design Course. The objective was to use the learning
theories of constructivism and multimedia learning to create an instructional
plan devised to teach the students how to create complex interactive narratives
and stories from a practical perspective. During the course, the students learned
the subject’s theoretical concepts and applied them directly, creating their own
interactive fiction. The results from this research proposes a new approach, using
digital tools whose resources provides an environment for the creation of
interactive narratives. These narratives can be used to aid future designs of
instructional plans for complex writing concepts.
