IDC 2009 WORKSHOP (June 3rd, FULL DAY)
CHILDREN AND EMBODIED INTERACTION: SEEKING COMMON GROUND
ORGANIZERS:
Alissa Antle, Simon Fraser University, Canada
Ylva Fernaeus, Swedish Institute of Computer Science, Sweden
Paul Marshall, The Open University, UK
This workshop seeks to bring together a community of researchers who are creating interactive technologies for children based on an embodied perspective on cognition. The workshop will critically explore different approaches to incorporating an embodied perspective in children's interaction design and HCI research through the development of a shared set of understandings and identification of differences, similarities and synergies between our research approaches. The main outcome for the workshop will be a shared research agenda for children and embodied interaction.
For detailed information about this event, please download the Call for Participation, visit the Workshop Web Site or contact Alissa N. Antle (aantle@sfu.ca).
SUBMISSIONS
You are invited to submit a four page position paper as .pdf file formatted according to the ACM SIGCHI conference publications format to the primary workshop organizer Alissa N. Antle (aantle@sfu.ca).
Contributions may be outlines of theoretical position, descriptions of interpretive analysis, evaluations, techniques, methods, or prototypes that rely on embodied interaction and are targeted to children. Authors are to include a working definition of what you mean when you say "embodied interaction" and give two questions you would most like addressed in the workshop. The submissions will be refereed by the organizing committee. A selection of the best papers from the workshop will be published in the ACM IDC'09 proceedings available through the ACM digital library.

- At least one author of each accepted position paper must register for the conference and the workshop by the early registration deadline (to be announced).
