Interactive products designed for childrenwhether toys, games, educational products, or websitesare increasingly embedded in childrens lives and school experiences. Making these products safe, effective, and entertaining requires new methodologies for carrying out sound and unbiased evaluations for these users with unique requirements, environments, and ethical considerations.
This book directly addresses this need by thoroughly covering the evaluation of all types of interactive technology for children. Based on the authors' workshops, conference courses, and own design experience and research, this highly practical book reads like a handbook, while being thoroughly grounded in the latest research. Throughout, the authors illustrate techniques and principles with numerous mini case studies and highlight practical information in tips and exercises and conclude with three in-depth case studies. Essential reading for usability experts, product developers, and researchers in the field.

The three major macronutrients are proteins, carbohydrates and lipids (oils and fats). This book is devoted to lipids, which are an important part of life for all of us. They are a significant part of all living systems, and of our diet, and they furnish the functional constituents of all personal care products and those materials by which we keep our homes and environment clean and wholesome. What are these materials in molecular terms? Where do they come from? What happens to them between the harvesting of crops and the appearance of the oils and fats in different products in the supermarket?
