Meeting with Dr Russell Beale

We were presented the opportunity to have a meeting with Dr Russell Beale - our HCI lecturer, who has a baby of his own. He mentioned that a good idea would be tell stories as the pictures on the touch screen are pressed. For example, rather than just having "This is a car" played when the car picture is pressed, it could play "Simon went for a drive in his car", or if the apple picture is pressed it could play "Simon bought an apple from the shop". This would help make the learning experience more enjoyable and give an example of how the words are used to form a sentence.

After the meeting, we thoroughly discussed this idea and came to the conclusion that we could incorperate it as a different setting that parents could choose to set for their child. For example, there could be normal mode and a story mode for the Digicab.
