Knowledge Base Repository

In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
Children provide innovative insights and perspectives when designing and evaluating prospective technologies and interaction methods. However, working with children as design informants requires careful consideration of the methodologies used in different steps of the design process. In this paper, we present our insights on a case-study of a design process with 24 children (9-12-year-olds), aiming for understanding children’s view on new technologies and their perception on tangible interaction. We utilized a lightweight design process model: children first reflected on the use of technologies and participated in an ideation session. Based on the results, researchers built prototypes which were evaluated by the children in the final step of the process. We expect our learnings to help researchers in the field of collaborative design when organizing design activities with children.
