Abstract

It is always challenging to teach children foreign languages, due to the difficulty of learning and their short attention span. To address the challenge and take advantage of the popularity of touchable tablets and smartphones, we propose an educational folktale e-book (EFE-Book) application with an interactive illustratable tool. EFE-Book is developed to teach pre-school children to learn foreign languages by telling folktales with illustrations. To encourage effective learning, EFE-Book provides an interactive collage tool that enables users to create collage-based illustrations by hand. To implement this, we propose a paper tile modeling method based on the Voronoi diagram. With EFE-Book, the user can create coloured paper tiles and attach them to the predesigned sketch through touch interface, such as Apple iPad.
