4. Opération Teddy Bear

   Une bande dessinée de très bon niveau sert de support à une base de données documentaire sur la seconde guerre mondiale. À partir du parcours d'un jeune enfant à travers la France, chaque vignette est l'occasion d'établir des liens vers des informations spécifiques relatives à la guerre. La structure des vignettes de la bande dessinée est totalement repensée. Des animations la dotent d'une structure temporelle. Certaines parcourent la « planche-écran » entière et créent un lien entre les vignettes. L'action évolue sur plusieurs cases en même temps. Tant que le lecteur n'a pas fait les actions nécessaires pour avancer dans la narration, certaines cases de la « planche-écran » demeurent grisées et les bulles ne sont pas affichées. Une action du lecteur affecte simultanément plusieurs cases. [Source: http://www.olats.org/livresetudes/basiques/litteraturenumerique/9_basiqu... ]
