Hyper Activity Books for Children: How Technology can Open Books to Multisensory Learning, Narration and Assessment
Michela Ponticorvo, Orazio Miglino · Qwerty · 2018
Together with books, tangible educational materials are widely used in formal and informal contexts, as they improve learning, especially in children. Marrying tangibles with traditional books through digital technology can enrich both materials, making them a powerful tool. In this paper, we describe an approach to design and build Hyper Activity Books (HAB) that allows transforming books in multisensory materials, bonding books with tangible materials. To show the effectiveness and the wide viability of this approach we describe some examples of HAB implementation, applied to mathematics, storytelling, science, and assessment. These examples indicate that HAB can be very useful to produce educational tools.
