Abstract	According to Long (2014), genuine task-based pedagogy is centered around the real-world activities that learners need to complete using the target language. We are developing the OurStories mobile application to support learners and instructors of minority languages in the development of personally relevant, task-based learning resources. The initial prototype, which we are inviting community organizations to use and adapt to their needs, takes the form of an audioenabled ebook as well as the software and a series of templates used for developing future materials. We introduce the OurStories software, its interactive features, and the research-based development process. We also discuss plans to expand the project into a program directed by in-group members of Indigenous language communities who wish to continue the development of pedagogically sound technologies.
