Guidelines for Successful Mobile Interactive Apps for Children | Carla FISHER
The top children's apps are dominated by eBooks with embedded games and activities, including big names like Mickey's Spooky Night Puzzle Book (Disney), What Was I Scared Of (Dr. Seuss), The Monster at the End of This Book (Sesame Street). In order to compete with all these apps and classic characters, developers need to create rock-solid apps that are easy to use, cognitively, physically, and educationally.
Attendees will experience a primer in children's interactive story development and game design so they understand how to address children's unique set of cognitive and physical challenges presented on smartphones and tablets. Attendees will be equipped with a foundation of knowledge and resources that can be easily incorporated into their own interactive development projects.
