Design in Evaluation: Reflections on Designing for Children’s Technology

Abstract

This paper reflects on the design value that emerges from evaluation methods used in the field of child computer interaction.

The work is based around an evaluation study of a tangible game prototype for children. The prototype and the evaluation techniques used are described. The authors provide a reflection on the analysis of results from one of the methods and use this analysis to propose a direct connection with design tools.
