Abstract
Assistance giving or guided learning refers to a condition where assistance is needed to motivate and encourage student understanding on the idea of story creation. Tutored approach is one form of guided learning condition designed to create a balance between giving and withholding assistance. This condition then allows learners to get helps, hints, and feedback anytime they need it without disturbing their ability to build knowledge on they own. G-Flash, an authoring tool, was developed based on a flashcard-based guided digital storytelling design framework for digital storytelling which highlights illustrated flashcards and tutored condition as important features of framework. Both illustrated flashcards and 2D animated character were designed as assistance providers in this framework. A study on the story creation process was conducted to examine the roles and usefulness of the assistance giving in encouraging student understanding of the story to be created.
