Curriculum or Not – Show Us How You Teach Interaction Design and Children! 
Half-day workshop at IDC 2014, June 17th in Aarhus, Denmark

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: April 25, 2014
NOTIFICATION: April 28, 2014

http://www.deviceproject.eu/idc_workshop.php
=================================================================
There is a growing awareness of the needs of children, but so far there has been less focus on developing teaching modules for design methods and practices aiming at covering their needs. However, to improve the design practice in the area of design for children, it is necessary to not only study and improve methodology, but also how to transfer the gained knowledge to new generations of designers to ensure its use in design. 
Therefore, the workshop intends to bring together educators, researchers, designers, and practitioners with the  overall aim to find ways to initiate discussions on an emerging interaction design curriculum with a specific focus on children.

Topics include, but are not limited to:

-       experiences from teaching IDC
-       best teaching practices/ methods
-       essential topics/ literature /exercises / methods to include in IDC teaching
-       an IDC curriculum, what is that?

Researchers, practitioners, educators and designers from different disciplines involved and interested in designing for and with children, both practically and methodology wise, are welcome. We will consider the scope of issues that might arise when teaching IDC by asking workshop participants to draw on their individual experiences to present a case study or teaching methodology relating to the design of digital technologies (product or service) with children.

Interested participants are invited to prepare a ten minute informal presentation describing both theoretically and practically their best teaching method for a specific user group and a case where it has been practiced. The presentations will be gathered and distributed among the participants, so that each participant will return home with several new teaching materials. 

PARTICIPATION
----------------------
We invite the submission of 2-4 page position papers offering perspectives on the workshop topics using the ACM CHI Extended abstract format. In the position papers authors are encouraged to include descriptions of their teaching or techniques they have used or are planning to use in teaching as well as their expectations of the workshop and the specific topics they would like to discuss. 

The submission should be sent to the workshop using the Easy Chair system: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=workshopidc2014 no later than April 20 2014.  The position papers will be published on the workshop web pagewww.deviceproject.eu/idc_workshop.php.
