Diseño de un prototipo de libro digital interactivo, Taki y la brújula del tiempo, para la enseñanza de hechos históricos de Cuenca-Ecuador a niños de educación básica elemental

Abstract

This paper presents a prototype of an interactive digital book designed for elementary school children, aiming to provide them with a fun learning experience about historical events in Cuenca. The scarcity of educational materials for children on local history and the lack of interactive content highlight the need for this resource, supported by technologies that promote active learning. Multimedia design and early childhood education concepts were applied to define color, typography, illustrations, animations, and graphic design. The process included pencil sketches, digitization in Adobe Photoshop, animations in After Effects, a medium-fidelity prototype in Adobe XD, and a high-fidelity prototype in Unity. Usability testing using the SUS scale indicates good acceptance, suggesting that this book can be a useful and engaging resource for education in Cuenca and Ecuador.
