Moving Beyond Boundaries
DESIGNING NARRATIVE LEARNING IN THE DIGITAL ERA
Mobeybou is a research project that investigates the learning and socializing potential of digital manipulatives among young children. It aims at promoting the development of cognitive, social and language skills, within a multicultural framework.
We are currently developing a storytelling platform that allows children to interact with digital content through the manipulation of physical blocks.
What we do
Children use Mobeybou to create their own stories in a collaborative environment, supported by the eye-catching visuals of the tool. Enriched by ambient and background sounds that set the mood of their stories.
A set of story apps inform the children about the various cultures.
