That is the assumption of this dissertation. The concept Moving Algorithm aims to provide guidelines on how technical systems in the field of media education for children can be designed and developed to encourage independent learning. Criteria are given for such digital products. This PhD project contributes to the field of interaction design and children. Moving Algorithm is implemented within the application of Der Schwarm, which allows the examination of algorithmic processes through sensual experience and interaction. Exploration is provided on several levels, as multiple senses as well as cognitive abilities are addressed. A concept allows the organisation of workshops particularly for evaluation purposes. Workshops employing methods from empirical social research have been held and evaluated.deinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTangible InteractionDigital MediaEmbodied InteractionExperience DesignInteraction Design and ChildrenDer SchwarmComputer ScienceMedia ArtAlgorithmic ArtMedia EducationMoving Algorithm000 Informatik, Informationswissenschaft, allgemeine Werke::000 Informatik, Wissen, SystemeDissertationurn:nbn:de:gbv:46-00102536-16
