Abstract
AbstractUser interfaces (UI) are an inherent part of any technology with human end-users. The design of the UI depends heavily on the intended end-user and is therefore extremely important for research in both learning technology (where the learner is the end-user) and CCI (where the child is the end-user). Another important concept of learning technology and CCI research (and also in neighboring fields) is that of “artifact”. Artifacts correspond to novel designs (which may be prototype systems, interfaces, materials, or procedures) that have a certain set of qualities or components (such as functionalities and affordances) and that allow us to experiment (e.g., to isolate and test certain components). This chapter describes how researchers can design educational interfaces, visualizations, and other artifacts to support their experiments and enhance learners’ and children’s experience with technology.
