“…Learners also learned creative storytelling skill by moving square blocks displaying different scenarios, objects, nature elements, and characters to create a story. Afterwards, the student's story would be displayed on a screen [32]. Moreover, TUI could be used to observe children in several scenarios [33][34][35].…”

The creation of learning activities responsive to learners with different basic skills has been limited due to a classroom environment and applied technologies. The goals of this research were to develop Tang-MI, a game with a tangible user interface supporting primary school learners’ analytical skills based on the theory of multiple intelligences (MI), and to present design guidelines for a tangible user interface suitable for learners in different MI groups. In this research, the Tangible user interface for multiple intelligence (Tang-MI) was tested with thirty students initially evaluated for their multiple intelligences. The learners’ usage behavior was observed and recorded while the students performed the assigned tasks. The behavioral data were analyzed and grouped into behaviors occurring before performing the tasks, during the tasks, and after completing the tasks. Based on the learners’ usage behavior, the tangible user interface design guidelines for learners in different MI groups were proposed concerning physical equipment design, question design, interactive program design, audio design, and animated visual feedback design. These guidelines would help educators build learning games that respond to the learners’ intelligence styles and enhance students’ motivation to learn.

“…In Mobeybou, perception and motor action, negotiation and consequential emotions are central in narrative creation. These aspects are particularly well supported by digital manipulatives [15,16,44,45,46]. Digital manipulatives [37], often also named Tangible User Interfaces (TUIs) [17], are physical representations, materials or objects with embedded computational properties that allow interacting with and manipulating digital content.…”

“…TOK [45], which stands for Touch, Organize, Create, is a learning environment for the construction of narratives that offers the users scenarios, characters and objects from classical stories for children. t-books [44] is a variation of the former and explores the concept of integrating physical / digital narrative elements into a book framework for guided narrative creation. Though sharing TOK's affordances, in Mobeybou imagination is ultimately triggered through the mix and remix of different cultural elements, finding the balanced combination of the constraints that inhere each element and the open-endedness of the manipulative itself.…”

This paper presents and discusses the preliminary findings of a research focusing on the design and use of Mobeybou, a digital manipulative aimed at promoting the collaborative creation of multicultural and cross-cultural stories among young children. We frame the research in the wider discussion of the 21st century skills and competencies, and present the digital manipulative as the product of a participatory design methodology. We discuss narratology, multiculturalism, embodiment and collaboration as the cornerstone ideas underpinning the design of Mobeybou. We also show how storytelling is envisioned as implying the creative use of the multicultural and multimodal information that is offered to users in the form of constraints and openended options. A pilot study, carried out with twelve 8-yearold children, has validated these design options and offered interesting insights for its further development. Here, we present the interface and discuss the feedback provided in the user study.
