Thinking in Stories: Narrative-based Design for Higher-Level Thinking
Pages 2782 - 2789
Abstract
This paper addresses the use of storytelling as a frame-work to design systems that support high-level thinking. Specifically, we examine whether narrative-based visual design may help students to perform better in literature review & synthesis. A prototype system 'StoryTree' was developed to enable a user study with tertiary students. Initial results showed promise of the approach of narrative-based design for cognitive tools.
