A reasonable percentage of these apps focus on education. But there are few apps that quantify their effectiveness or value for the students who use them or the teachers and parents who purchase them.</p> <p>How can behavioral science, instructional design, gaming and UX/UI design assist in this effort, not only to build products that are effective and fun, but to define these metrics and educate consumers about how to identify them? What makes an app AWESOME and how can we quantify that? Not only in terms of fun, but in terms of teaching kids meaningful stuff! This talk will explore these questions, using example apps to illustrate the relevant features.</p> <p>This event is sponsored by Clarity Innovations, which is paying for non-members to attend for free. Seating is limited, so you should register in advance to be sure you have a seat!</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="http://www.chifoo.org/index.php/chifoo/events_detail/finding_and_measuring_the_awesome_in_education/">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
