Web Portal Characteristics: Children as Designers and Evaluators

Overview Two intergenerational design teams comprising respectively elementary school students from grades six and three, together with three adult researchers, designed two low-tech web portal prototypes specifically targeted at the students' peers. These portals were subsequently converted into working portals that can be used to find information on the Web relating to Canadian history and deemed appropriate for an elementary school audience. This paper presents the evaluations of the two portals conducted by eight focus groups (four from grade-three students and four from grade-six students).
