Abstract
A historical narrative can be presented in various ways. This paper presents a multimedia-based educational mobile tool based on character-centered content presentation, with geographical points serving as the backdrop within a specific geographical and temporal context. This approach encompasses multiple fields of study, such as history and geography, introducing a computational model that explores the history of slavery. The key feature of this model is to create dynamic pathways that immerse the user in a multimedia storyline, supported by information technologies, including educational content and GPS data, among others. Usability tests were conducted on the developed mobile tool with a group of 10 participants, with promising results.
