Storytelling has been used as a powerful methodology to design learning
activities. By producing their own stories, students learn while developing
artifacts which can share with other peer learners generating a rich
collaborative learning environment based on constructivism. Digital media and
especially hypermedia has been successfully used to support storytelling in
learning contexts since it easies the collaborative authoring process and
allows creating stories with parallel threads and multiple version, supporting
various viewpoints of the same story. Inspired by the context of learning the
cultural heritage of the Armenian cross-stones or Khachkars, we developed a
tool in which students can create their own hyper-stories for telling different
aspects of them. The tool reflects the inherent attachment of the Khachkars to
a geographical location by offering a map on which learners can present the
location of the stones. Another important aspect of this tool is that learners
can explore 3D models of the Khachkars in a virtual museum where they can
create their own exhibitions putting together stones which are far apart in the
reality.
