Methods in Interactive Narrative Pedagogy: Cardbased Prototyping – 2021 Edition

Education a new generation of professionals and scholars in Interactive Narrative is an important consideration for the nascent field. Paper prototyping plays an important role in the creation of interactive digital narratives (IDN). A structured prototyping approach can help improve the process of making IDNs. In particular, pre-made, specialized card designs can speed up the process considerably and also help in the transition to digital prototypes. In this workshop, we will continue the work from previous iterations to evolve structured methods, use pre-made cards in successive rounds of working towards a detailed prototype. In this iteration we will explore the addition of tangible building blocks to the prototyping arsenal. Participant’s feedback will also be used as a basis for future research.
