Title:	Electronic Books and Multimedia: A Tool to Enhance the Narratives' Engagement
Issue Date:	2023-07-17
Description:	Storytelling is a vast topic with many different cultures having different methods of transmitting narratives. This research stems from the notion that if storytelling is not dependent on written artifacts then a new form of e-book can be the alternative. Furthermore, media insertion in literary narratives will upgrade the user experience present in electronic books, especially in terms of engagement. The data collected in this project was achieved through a co-designing session with potential users, consequent prototyping, user experience questionnaires, and further data analysis with a control group. The prototype was well-received, with users finding it attractive and enjoyable, although some usability improvements are needed to meet users' expectations and ensure its success in the market. These findings indicated that readers are open to new ways of interacting with a novel, particularly if it focuses on their senses and emotions.
