Dear Stacy,
I'm currently researching on the design of digitally enhanced play spaces
for improving children's engagement with museum objects. Your research
sounds very interesting to me and I would like to read more on your topic.
From my MA thesis "Child inclusive exhibition design", I concluded that the
design of websites for children seldom connects with reality, or encourages
them to do something outside the website and than share it on-line. I also
noticed that the graphic design of those websites is sadly pretty bad. I
have a feeling that web designers think that everything for children has to
be in vivid colours and comic sans. But I don't know if there is any study
that gives any details into this subject area.
Best wishes,
