Doing research with children: a child computer interaction perspective

Published: 19 June 2018 Publication History

Abstract

Doing research with children requires special attention to recruitment, fair inclusion, and methods. Drawing on over fifteen years of experience of working with children in HCI contexts, this practical course will give attendees essential knowledge to do safe, effective and ethically sound research with children. The course covers the whole research journey, from recruitment through to publication. The course is delivered in a two-hour session.
