Twine - Bureautique. Twine est un petit logiciel tout simple qui permet de créer des histoires interactives du type « dont vous êtes le héros ».
En quelques clics, votre histoire est créée et vous pouvez l’exporter tout aussi facilement en format HTML. Que ce soit pour l’utilisation en salle de classe pour la conception de récits, pour le développement de scénarios eLearning, ou encore pour exprimer votre créativité, ce logiciel rapide de prise en main vous permettra de créer efficacement une histoire.

One thing I know- we get tired of hearing the word tools, and that’s mostly because we sometimes feel that it takes the focus off of creation or higher-order thinking.
