Playful creation of digital stories with eShadowPlayful creation of digital stories with eShadow Πλήρης Δημοσίευση σε Συνέδριο Conference Full Paper 2018-06-272016eneShadow promotes a new way of dramatized and personalized digital storytelling inspired by the rich tradition of shadow theatre. It enables game-like interventions combining several digital tools for the production of digital stories covering all five phases of filmmaking: scenario development, pre-production, production, post-production and distribution. eShadow can be used (a) to create digital shadow puppets, and (b) to set up, perform and record the scenes of the digital story (production phase). This way, digital story creation is wrapped around interesting game-like decisions, playful improvisations and creative learning. eShadow has been extensively used to support cross-curricular learning mainly in Greek schools. It is currently extended to support marionette-like interactions to promote its use in countries with relevant storytelling cultures.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/139-14411th International Workshop on Semantic and Social Media Adaptation and PersonalizationProceedings - 11th International Workshop on Semantic and Social Media Adaptation and Personalization Moraiti Argyro Μωραϊτη Αργυρω Moumoutzis Nektarios Μουμουτζης Νεκταριος Christoulakis Marios Χριστουλακης Μαριος Pitsiladis Andreas Πιτσιλαδης Ανδρεας Stylianakis Georgios Στυλιανακης Γεωργιος Sifakis Ioannis Σηφακης Ιωαννης Maragoudakis Ioannis Μαραγκουδακης Ιωαννης Christodoulakis Stavros Χριστοδουλακης Σταυρος Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Cross-curricular learning Digital storytelling Playful learning Shadow theatre
