About
Iva Matkovic is a researcher dedicated to advancing participatory design methods for children, with a particular focus on remote and online co-design environments. Her work addresses the critical need for understanding how children can effectively collaborate in design processes when separated by distance, a challenge that became especially relevant during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Her most cited paper, "Designing Together, Miles Apart: A Longitudinal Tabletop Telepresence Adventure in Online Co-Design with Children" (2023, 15 citations), stands out as a pioneering study that explores sustained, long-term co-design with children aged 8-12, moving beyond the typical short-term project insights. This work demonstrates her commitment to developing robust, child-centered methodologies that ensure meaningful participation even in virtual settings. Matkovic's contributions are shaping the future of human-computer interaction and participatory design, providing essential frameworks for researchers and practitioners who aim to engage young users as genuine partners in the design of technologies that affect their lives.
