Woven Stories as a Cognitive Tool

Woven Stories is a web-based application that allows users to compose their stories, and link appropriate story sections with pre-existing sections authored by someone else. As a co-authoring environment, Woven Stories supports the user not only as his or her individual cognitive tool, but also as a shared platform to reflect ideas and thought processes of other users with related interests. Thus, a group of users can apply Woven Stories to tasks such as creative problem solving.
