Developing smart edutainment for preschoolers: a multidisciplinary approach

Abstract

Education has suffered multiple changes due to technological progress. Even though the current generation of preschoolers (aged 3 to 6 years in our country) is called digital native, there is a lack of focus on introducing technology enabled learning tools for them. This paper presents our approach to designing smart learning experiences for a fringe users group, the preschoolers. We present our method proposal for designing edutainment applications for preschoolers, based on a User Centered Design process and how we may integrate Artificial Intelligence to complete and support the capabilities of our little users.
