Abstract

The increased demand for audio books and the rise of podcasting indicate a comeback of listening. On this basis, audio-based collaborative storytelling functionalises the act of telling stories in groups. In this paper we identify the requirements for informal knowledge management by means of audio-based collaborative storytelling. After reviewing the state of the art, we present our solution which addresses these requirements and supports a process for audio-based collaborative storytelling. Our solution consists of a storytelling client application which supports nomadic work as well as a web portal which aims at building a storytelling community. We present the storytelling client application and the web portal along our process for of collecting, structuring, linking and using audio clips, and finish with a report on first experiences and an outlook on future advancements.
