RESEARCH SPOTLIGHT
The Children's Digital Media Center
Graduate and undergraduate students working with Professor Barbara
O'Keefe are exploring the nature of children's experiences with media,
interaction in and with media, and the outcomes of specific types of
media experiences such as children's television and interactive games.
This work is being conducted a part of her cross-institutional research
project, the Children's Digital Media Center, that was funded by the
National Science Foundation to promote new work on the developmental
impact of new communications media.
