Abstract

This paper draws on a Cooperative Inquiry study conducted at a children's library that aimed to design and develop more engaging eBooks for children, with children as design partners. The study was characterized by four different stages where we experimented both low-tech and high-tech prototyping by introducing tablet computers as tools for supporting co-design. At the end of the study we analyzed pros and cons of each approach.
