“…It has been quite a journey from the first idea for this journal to the first issue of the Journal of Interactive Narrative, which you are reading now. In 2018, I presented a paper at ICIDS (International Conference for Interactive Digital Storytelling), reflecting on the status of the study of Interactive Digital Narratives as a discipline (Koenitz, 2018). I concluded that much progress had been made since the first doctoral thesis on the topic (Buckles, 1985), yet a journal dedicated to the topic was a key missing element.…”

“…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.
