What I talk about when I talk about Child Computer Interaction
Pages 113 - 117
Abstract
Taking the book by Richard Carver as an inspiration, this paper narrates a keynote given at CHIuXiD2018. It reveals a set of important truths about child-computer interaction through a series of cameos. Drawing on the author's experience as a child, mother, teacher, and researcher, and building on research findings from the Child Computer Interaction (ChiCI) group at UCLan, this set of insights will be of use to practitioners and researchers alike. Four challenges are delivered that synthesise how technology can be designed for modern children. These include wobbly design, child affordances, informed guesswork and errors and resilience.
