PRESENTER:    Sofia Pardo

TITLE:  Child-Centered Design: Broadening the child-designer dyad. (PhD
completion seminar)

VENUE: University of Melbourne, IDEA LAB, level 4, 111 Barry Street,
Carlton

DATE and TIME: Friday 18th April  2008, 3-4 pm

ABSTRACT:
Child-Centered Design inherits from User-Centered Design the primacy of the
end user. However, this literal interpretation has shown to be inadequate in
the context of evaluating educational software. In this seminar I will
present and challenge designers¹ current evaluation practices in regard to
the attribute of educational effectiveness. The creation of a new evaluation
method, KaTIE, responds to these challenges by broadening the boundaries of
the child-designer dyad. The seminar will conclude with some reflections on
the PhD journey.

BIO:
Sofia Pardo is currently working on a PhD supervised by Steve Howard and
Frank Vetere.



Please forward to others if interested. All are Welcome.
