Abstract

The aim of this PhD study is to critically investigate and develop methods for designing technologies for children, by focussing on the requirements elicitation phase.

The context is the educational activities outside traditional learning environment (i.e. museums), where to explore possible applications of novel technologies (mobile devices, distributed computing, tangible interfaces) in supporting immersive experience and collaboration amongst children.
