Evaluating Children's User Experience (UX) Towards Mobile Application: the Fantasy Land Prototype

Abstract

This paper presents the experience and results aimed at evaluating user experience (UX) of children while interacting with a mobile application prototype, named Fantasy Land. The goal was to investigate the children's acceptance and enjoyment experience as well as to find out the suitability of such evaluation conducted with children. The first author who is also the main experimenter in this study took around 3 weeks to complete the study sessions that involved 18 children who were recruited from a selected school as well as among friends and family members. A set of questionnaire known as user experience questionnaire (UEQ) was adapted in performing the evaluation and gathered feedback was analyzed quantitatively in the efforts of presenting the results. The results of evaluation using UEQ demonstrated that the children had an average experience interacting with the prototype and contents in UEQ were practicable for children as they were able to answer the questions that being asked to them.
