Engaging the next generation of Child–Computer Interaction researchers: Teaching CCI

Abstract

Child–computer Interaction (CCI) is an established research field with its own conference and journal for disseminating results and community engagement. However, there are voices calling for the field to mature (e.g. Torgersson, Bekker, Barendregt, Eriksson, and Frauenberger (2019)). One way to address that is to discuss the ever evolving CCI curriculum in order to discover what efforts are made for engaging a new generation of researchers in the field. This special issue seeks to gather informative and inspirational perspectives on teaching CCI in order to engage the next generation of researchers in the field. Our hope is that this special issue will not only serve as knowledge sharing within the community, but also inspire more people to start teaching CCI and thereby open up for engaging the next generation of researchers.
