Some inferences

As soft and endearing as many picture book characters may be,
they exist in tougher environments than we might imagine, blank
faces of fear. It is up to us to discover their ways to meaning and
form, to being-in-the-world

by Moebius (1990),(p.140).



Some of the inferences that were made after conducting user study are mentioned below.Many of these inferences are made through observation rather than verbally.

• The kids imagine themselves as the lead role of the story.. the lead character.
• the classmates/friends they had an argument or a fight or they generally don't like are usually the villains in the story.
• All the kids like stories in the language they are most comfortable with.
• Some like stories of what they've mostly dreamt of, rural kids dream of going to cities, etc.
• Visual combined with audio is obviously more entertaining and engrossing, but just plain audio is always nice.It allows you to pay less attention on a screen , or a book.
• Plain text gets boring,comic books are still nice but not as good as visual movie sorts though.
• There are different levels of curiosity and inquisition by different children. some might be so inquisitive that the ruin the story-teller's mood.
• They usually try not to leave a story incomplete if it has interested them enough and if they really have to, they'll get back to it asap.
• Interest in the story depends on the story itself and also how its being told.
• The kids usually get very imaginative,might be days before they get out of it, even weeks.
• They'll share a story they like with anyone they trust and like.
• To put a strong imprint of the moral on their minds, the story has to be really powerfull, interesting, engrossing and fun.

capturing the user experience in a natural environmentt , yet trying to keep a similar user behavior and mapping on medium i.e on a laptop screen....is the challenge faced
