SPECIAL TRACK
Bridging the GAP between Researchers and Practitioners in Child-Computer Interaction
You are hereby invited to contribute to the dedicated track on collaboration between researchers and practitioners in the field of Child-Computer Interaction, held during the 2nd EAI International Conference on Design, Learning & Innovation.
Αs young children are exposed to technology more than ever before. The rapid spreading of affordable handheld devices combined with the continuously launch of new applications and products as well as new forms of interaction, e.g. touch and tangible technology, poses new challenges to practitioners and researchers. This track aims at bringing together cross-disciplinary researchers and practitioners to share and reflect their experience identifying benefits and constraints targeting advance of knowledge in this area.
We thus welcome and encourage practitioners and researchers working in this cross-disciplinary field, to submit a paper to this dedicated track.
All accepted papers will be published by Springer and made available through SpringerLink Digital Library, one of the world's largest scientific libraries.
Accepted Authors will be invited to submit an extended version of their work to a Special Issue in the International Journal of Child-Computer Interaction. (https://www.journals.elsevier.com/international-journal-of-child-computer-interaction)
