Movement forward: The continued growth of Child–Computer Interaction research

‘Lots done, more to do’: The current state of interaction design and children research and future directions

“…This book took into consideration CCI works published at the CHI and IDC conferences, and provided an overview of CCI research targeted to graduate students, practitioners and researchers wishing to get acquainted or catch up with the field. Seven years after their first book, the new and the past editors of IJCCI discussed eight areas of research in order to frame future research and development in CCI (Giannakos, Horn et al, 2020). They focused on areas including: children's roles and participation in research, CCI research methods, emerging technologies targeting children, child-specific application areas (e.g., learning, sociability, healthcare, play and behavior change), emerging computational capabilities for children, responsible and ethical research, bridging ''artefact-centered research'' with ''theory construction'', and advancing literacies for children.…”

An Overlooked Indicator of Edtech Quality: The Use of Learning Sciences Research

“…A crucial area to examine is the burgeoning field of human-computer interaction, and in particular, child-computer interaction for products aimed at early childhood and K-12, to understand how learning frameworks may best be mapped onto product design (Antle, 2007;Gelderblom & Kotzé, 2009;Giannakos et al, 2020). Designers of children's technology who are aware of the developmental needs of young learners are better equipped to produce innovative products (Bekker & Antle, 2011).…”

Multisensory Interaction and Analytics to Enhance Smart Learning Environments: A Systematic Literature Review

“…A variety of systems that use multisensory experiences beyond vision and audition have already been investigated and developed to facilitate relaxation, minimize agitation and anxiety [4], enable communication [5], and support learning [6]. The identification of new ways to enhance and facilitate learning is a central goal in both human-computer interaction (HCI) and learning technology research [7], with the synergy between learning analytics (LA) and embodied learning offering a promising approach [8]. Many studies have shown that allowing learners to engage in a variety of ways increases implicit awareness and enhances learning.…”
