Courses: CD143AB Virtual Communities for Children
This course explores the impact of virtual communities, computer games, social media and other digital technologies in the lives of young people. As an interdisciplinary course, we will focus on both theory and design of technology-rich programs and experiences for children. We will pay particular attention to the use of virtual communities in different settings such as home, school, after school, hospitals and museums.
