This is my interactive Twine story. In my opinion, lots of multimedia principles are related to this kind of story. First of all, the signal principle is very effective for this interactive story because Twine will underline important information and turning points, leading the story. This is very useful because prompts highlighting the text’s keywords will attract one of the people’s attention. People will also think about the next story when they click, making the audience more involved in the story. For example, I make a suspense story; this type of story is very suitable for interactive stories because audiences can have higher attention.
Secondly, The segmenting principle in Twine, the audience can learn better by segmenting. This principle is more beneficial than reading the whole story once. Because after each segment, people have the opportunity to think about the knowledge or information they have just acquired. This principle leads to more effective and deeper learning. In my suspense story, segmented reading can make people understand the changes in each plot. Although my suspense story’s plot is very normal, not special, reading in the segmented story can better attract and retain readers. This is because people cannot maintain long-term, uninterrupted learning. People can’t directly get to the end of the story; they need to read according to the information and plots have given by steps.
In order for educational or instructional purposes, take me as an example. I used to be very fat and spent a long time losing weight. I found that weight loss is divided into signals and segments (stage). Signals such as some food will be marked in red. Red foods are foods that I cannot eat. It is better to lose weight in stages so that I can encourage myself in stages. Make myself more confident.
