Abstract

This paper reflects on the design value that emerges from evaluation methods used in the field of child computer interaction. The work is based around an evaluation study of a tangible game prototype for children. The prototype and the evaluation techniques used are described. The authors provide a reflection on the analysis of results from one of the methods and use this analysis to propose a direct connection with design tools.
