The transmodal translation, is an elicitation technique that requires participants to translate the same idea across different modal resources

Description:

The transmodal translation, is an elicitation technique that requires participants to translate the same idea across different modal resources (e.g. drawing, writing, enactment, etc.). Children are, therefore, provided with different tasks (e.g. make a drawing, a video report or bodystorm the ideas) to describe their experience with the interactive system.

Benefits:

• Tap into different shades of children understandings around the experience
• Gather requirements when working with an early prototype of the system since it offers relevant contributions to delve into the different shades of children’s understanding of a phenomenon
