We are looking for both theoretical and methodological reflections on the position of participatory design and co-design and empirical cases that advance design practices with children in online environments. A significant contribution of the volume will focus on facilitation tools and techniques connected to the contemporary challenges of distributed online design in formal settings (i.e. K-12) or informal settings with children. Effective techniques and tools for co-located environments (Antle et al., 2020, Zaman et al.,2022), which foster the genuine participation of children (Kinnula & Iivari, 2021), have been established over the years within the child-computer interaction community. However, technologies, tools, and techniques for distributed online co-design with children are only beginning to emerge, with much room for new developments and the need for adaptations. Co-design with children in online and hybrid environments, encountered constraints in the utilization of existing technologies and tools, and challenges when applying longstanding design facilitation techniques (Itenge et al., 2021; Rötkönen et al., 2021; Rötkönen et al., 2022, Winschiers-Theophilus et al., 2022,). Within online environments, new technological affordances and methods need to be explored, and established facilitation strategies and co-design methods need to be amended (Bertran et al., 2022; McVeigh-Schultz & Isbister, 2021; Walsh et al., 2015; Warren et al., 2022). The move to online environments offers a variety of challenges but also new opportunities (Fails et al. 2022), including the collaborative participation of children that are geographically distributed (Winschiers-Theophilus et al., 2022). Given the challenges, yet also the novel opportunities, a larger collection of theoretical and empirical work about online co-design with children and design-based learning is required. ----------------------------------------------------------- *Topics of Interest* ----------------------------------------------------------- We invite researchers drawing upon design-based research approaches to share their theoretical, methodological, or practical perspectives. We welcome submissions that report on qualitative or quantitative studies, systematic reviews or scoping reviews, as well as theoretical and reflective pieces. The indicative list of topics of interest for this special issue includes, but is not limited to: ● Geographically distributed participants ● Ethical considerations and implications ● Special educational needs ● Inclusion, diversity, and heterogeneity ● Social-emotional learning ● Intergenerational engagement and communication ● Facilitation tools and techniques ● Supportive technologies and platforms ● Formal and informal educational contexts ● Design-based learning in K-12 =========================================== /*Submission guidelines and procedure*/ ---------------------------------------------------------- All submissions (abstracts and later final manuscripts) must be original and may not be under review by another publication.
