AIMS

This working group aims to support practitioners, regulators and researchers to develop the study of interaction design and children across international contexts. Specifically it will seek – as a working group – to develop a mature tested set of methods and practices that this academic and practitioner base can use. It will aim:

  • To promote high quality research in child computer interaction and in interaction design with children;
  • To provide an accessible international forum and information site for researchers interested in HCI and Interaction Design where the users are children;
  • To coordinate and manage events for IDC researchers and practitioners including, but not limited to, the annual IDC conference and the IDC workshops.

SCOPE

To build on existing work in IFIP member countries in the following areas:

  • The development and refinement of methods for engaging with children in the design of interactive technologies;
  • The development and refinement of methods for engaging with children in the evaluation of interactive technologies;
  • The role of children as participants in Interaction Design;
  • Designing for children from all cultures, with all abilities, talents and economics.
