Abstract

In this article we reflect upon the educational possibilities of interactive multimedia stories. After analysing the origins and the evolution of stories, we studied the innovations introduced by the multimedia convergence, the hypertext and interactivity in stories with educational objectives within the Information Society. We are also presenting an interactive multimedia story project developed by the Master of Communication and Education at the UAB.
