Ardozia develops digital books for children on mobile devices using storytelling and education. They embrace a collaborative process involving a continuous cycle of improvement, an editorial strategy that considers different solutions for different needs, and diversity in knowledge areas among collaborators from literature, design, development and more. Their approach involves trial and error to find new ways for users to experience content and evolve technical solutions and business approaches.

2. About Ardozia
Ardozia develops digital content for children
to be used on mobile devices, achieving the
best experience with storytelling and
edutainment.

3. we need to start looking at collaboration as
something richer than getting participants to
contribute their preset format content in a serial,
one dimensional, string, within a rigid structure
of publishing.
