My current reads for this project.




















The only book really I could find that specifically was about designing multimedia applications for children, the other one I saw was by the same author, I picked this one, published in america only, so took time to get hold of, but glad got hold of it. The downside is this book is old, real old in technology terms, it talks about the design of applications I used as a child, however the techniques/approaches are still solid to this day and the author just so happens to be an top expert on the subject and with working with children.

One of a few books I have picked up on elearning, I feel it mainly heads towards the training market but does cover elearning as a whole, the main elearning strategies do apply still to children, but I do think that these strategies are very wide, maybe too wide. I have although come across elearning books that are worse and don't take in mind the various users, grouping users as all the same, I'm not keen on this path. Pluses within the book include the section on elearning games, how to design and manage online discussions and the indepth benefits and potential of elearning.
