Guidelines for the design of new interactive technologies for children

Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Human - Computer Interaction - Year 2011, Vol 4, Issue 1

Abstract

The way children learn, play, interact with parents or communicate with friends is significantly impacted by the ubiquity of digital technologies in their early life. Successful development of new technologies aimed specifically at children requires designers to become acquaintant with the characteristics of such a special group of users. Establishing a precise but complex design framework, with well-articulated and thorough tested theoretical models of the end-user, is therefore a prerequisite for generating reliable sets of guidelines able to inform and orient the technology development process.
