Abstract

In our web-based platform "Wayang Authoring" children with different cultural backgrounds can share stories and make experiences in culturally different storytelling styles. The research question focuses on by which design our system can enhance creative storytelling and self-expression as well as help to share cultural diversity. The idea of Wayang Authoring is based on the Indonesian ancient art form Wayang. In Wayang Authoring children are able to compose a story by using digital puppets, saving, and sharing it.
