Abstract

Storytelling, edutainment, and collaborative interaction are all powerful paradigms to promote learning in young kids. The FaTe2 project offers a combination of these paradigms by providing a web based, multi-user, two and three dimensions virtual space where children (aged 7--11) can meet, chat, explore, play, and perform storytelling activities in collaboration. The paper describes the background of FaTe2, its educational motivations, its design solutions, and its implementation approach.
