Description

A lesson-level design in which digital stories are presented as interactive videos with facial expressions and gestures, and learners can repeatedly interact during care and treatment. "The interactive features allowed the children to select the story sessions they would like to know in more detail," and questions raised at specified story periods check comprehension. The design aims to distract attention and reduce anxiety during nursing care.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

  • Story scenes based on the actual clinical setting
  • cartoon animation to simulate the treatment process
  • interaction points for selection and question answering

Constraints

  • Content must be identical across delivery modes for fair comparison; the article notes conventional video-based DS lacks interaction between videos and young children

Target Learners

  • young children with basic number and word recognition

Learning Goals

  • comprehension of treatment procedures
  • emotional comfort during invasive treatment
