‘Kids enjoy a digital page-turner’—via OLPC’s $100 laptop and a kid’s library
News release: Ruby Kulles, 7, is engrossed in an illustrated children’s book from the International Children’s Digital Library (ICDL) Foundation.
Kulles is part of Kids Team, a research arm of the Foundation at the University of Maryland’s Human-Computer Interaction Lab, involving children in the design and testing of the Library’s interface for children’s books across digital media.
The bright green computer she is using is a test model of the new, low-cost laptop developed by the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) organization (www.laptop.org). ICDL Foundation has the world’s largest collection of children’s literature available freely on the Internet.
