In this paper we report the preliminary results of an evaluation in the wild of a storytelling app, the Lions of Time, presenting an archeological story, based on the swipe story approach. A swipe story is a digital story that, with a simple and immediate gesture (namely the swipe) and a language based on drawings, images, words, games, sounds, movies and emotions, is able to start the young user to a new path of knowledge. We performed an evalua- tion in the wild the day the swipe story was launched at the 2017 Turin International Book Fair. Preliminary results are encouraging, especially regarding the children engagement in the fruition of the story and its related games.

Abstract
In this paper we report the preliminary results of an evaluation in the wild of a storytelling app, the Lions of Time, presenting an archeological story, based on the swipe story approach. A swipe story is a digital story that, with a simple and immediate gesture (namely the swipe) and a language based on drawings, images, words, games, sounds, movies and emotions, is able to start the young user to a new path of knowledge. We performed an evalua- tion in the wild the day the swipe story was launched at the 2017 Turin International Book Fair. Preliminary results are encouraging, especially regarding the children engagement in the fruition of the story and its related games.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
