Abstract
As part of our broader initiative on promoting the education in the field of computer science and ICT at high schools and universities, we have created the StoryFactory tool, which enables students to script short movies in a 3D virtual world. In an engaging way, StoryFactory introduces challenges posed by scripting 3D virtual characters and screenwriting. The tool is supposed to be used in ICT and/or media education classes. Here, we present the tool along with first results from its evaluations.
