This paper reports on an ongoing project that develops a learning material for preschool children. The concepts of courseware and digital storytelling (DST) are combined to deliver learning contents to students. The Multiple Intelligence is mapped into the developed learning material, which is called Preschool DST, in complementing the existing technologies such as books and courseware. The paper starts with some discussions on the background of the study, followed with the techniques used in the study. Then, lengthy discussions on the design and development of the Preschool DST follow, and finally the paper concludes by addressing the next step to perform. This study found that the Preschool DST is able to grab children's interest and engaging them during the learning process.

Language learning is a crucial element in children's life. As the millennial generation, children nowadays cannot be separated from technology. Therefore, this study was aimed to develop a digital storybook to enhance children's language learning by applying Mayer's principles. This is a collaborative study between researchers from Indonesia and Malaysia. Seventeen children from both countries whose ages ranged from five to seven years old were recruited as the participants. Two experts in children pedagogy were also involved in this study to give feedback from the developed digital storybook. The participants were included in a series of User Experience (UX) Workshops. After the digital storybook has been developed, feedbacks from experts and users were gathered. It was found that this application can improve children language learning. They found new vocabularies and sentences. This digital storybook also introduces them to terms in nature since the stories are about environment. This application can be used by the children but with more interaction with parents and teachers to build more communication.
