Research Methods for Child Computer Interaction

Published: 07 May 2016 Publication History

Abstract

In this course participants will learn about the theory and practice of conducting research in children's HCI. The course is divided into two sessions: basic principles and theory, and best practices. The instructors have multiple years of experience designing, conducting, and analyzing children-computer interaction (CCI) studies, in the UK, USA, and Israel.
