ESRC seminar series
Summary
The aim of these seminars was to determine how to exploit research on teaching and learning to improve the design of interactive media for children aged 5-16. They explored what researchers can learn from the design, policy and practitioner communities, and how insights from educational research can inform design in ways that promote learning whilst protecting designers' creativity.
