Synthetic Evidential Study as Primordial Soup of Conversation

  • Conference paper
Databases in Networked Information Systems (DNIS 2015)

Abstract

Synthetic evidential study (SES for short) is a novel technology-enhanced methodology for combining theatrical role play and group discussion to help people spin stories by bringing together partial thoughts and evidences. SES not only serves as a methodology for authoring stories and games but also exploits the framework of game framework to help people sustain in-depth learning. In this paper, we present the conceptual framework of SES, a computational platform that supports the SES workshops, and advanced technologies for increasing the utility of SES. The SES is currently under development. We discuss conceptual issues and technical details to delineate how much we can implement the idea with our technology and how much challenges are left for the future work.
