With kids now consuming interactive experiences from ages as early as pre-school, this session explores how user experience, design and technology has shaped the learning process.
It looks at how we, as digital content creators, are now be expected to build new and more innovative ways to capture the hearts of minds of kids and a look at what kind of experiences they’ll expect in the future.

Design is about problem solving and our traditional approach of conducting research and implementing surveys may contain common pitfalls. Often, users are unable to describe accurately what they actually need, instead we are limited to what they have previously told us they want.
Our client is having a hard-time expressing their requirements during the design process because until they see and experience the final solution, they don’t know if it is in fact the right one. At this point, a lot of time and resources have been been dedicated to the development project and the customer ultimately ends up unhappy with the solution proposed.
This talk is aimed at exploring the issues around this particular topic and will describe how you can use a rapid prototyping technique to help improve the end-users ‘experience’. This rapid prototyping process has been implemented many times and has enabled us to gain a great deal of understanding. At the same time, we are gaining an insight into the clients’ particular problems and this ultimately acts as an indispensable guide.

The sheer effort (and cost) of manually creating content across multiple digital devices is diluting the integrity and quality of the creative idea. It’s no longer enough to simply repurpose content for each device and use responsive design principles to make it look good. So can metadata free creatives from spending time repurposing assets and allow us to develop better multi-device ideas?
