“…Reviewing commonly applied narrative devices, formalisms, conventions and authoring practices might tell us which would be most useful. Similarly reviewing critical analyses of IDN works and IDN theory might show us what feedback items can help the author maximise the use of IDN affordances or train them in the art of IDN [36]. This might also mean feedback that helps them fluently use the authoring tool (e.g.…”

Providing intelligent feedback to aid authoring has been proposed as a way to speed up authoring, give the author more control, and to enable the authoring of more complex interactive narratives. However, there is little research investigating what concrete feedback items would be useful for interactive digital narrative (IDN) creators. In this paper, we discuss potentially useful feedback items in relation to authoring goals and concerns. We perform a systematic literature review to make a list of concrete feedback items of interest related to the most emphasised concern of authoring -the effect of the interactive narrative on the user. We identify 47 User Experience (UX) dimensions in the IDN literature that could serve as useful feedback items, covering 8 categories -Agency, Cognition, Immersion, Affect, Drama, Rewards, Motivation and Dissonance. This list combines and untangles how different IDN researchers have interpreted and expressed interest in the complex idea of UX in the past decade and gives us insight into what concrete aspects of UX might be useful to estimate via automated feedback.

“…This evolution has been reshaping the communication and interaction design fields, together with the mediatisation and its instances. It triggered a major digital and cultural transformation that made it urgent to include the topic into the design curricula (Murray 1995;Koenitz et al 2019).…”

“…OF4 Ideation is devoted to defining the IDN concept, starting from the narrative elements developed in OF3. In this regard, the research on IDN design started from the work of Janet Murray (1997) with a computer science and user experience approach to then extend the focus to its creative process (Herman 2004;Koenitz 2015Koenitz , 2018Koenitz et al 2019). To support this process and confront the design challenge of designing IDNs, the design starts from the theoretical foundations introduced in Domain 3.…”

Narratives mirror shared interpretations of the world. Still, dominant narratives prevail, pushing non‐hegemonic narratives in the corner. A change in the creation, interaction and distribution of narratives can support the design of counter‐narratives able to feed social change. Interactive Digital Narrative (IDN) can be considered an emerging experimental context in which designers, researchers and practitioners from various domains operate to develop story‐based content addressing relevant social or societal issues. The IDN social constructivist role in encouraging or influencing individuals and collectivities towards social change is a relevant design issue especially from an educational perspective. Specifically, it features methodologies and praxis not yet systematised, in need of exploration and formalisation. Recognising the contribution of an approach combining transdisciplinary methods and tools, the article presents a pedagogical model for designing IDNs as complex interactive systems able to impact culture and society based on empirical study from a design course in the higher education context. Composed of theoretical and operational frameworks, the pedagogical model orients the multilayered design process for building engaging, interactive narrative artefacts systematising and operationalising knowledge from the domains of Communication for Social Change, storytelling and IDN in an iterative design process.
