  <dc:description xmlns:ns0="xml" ns0:lang="en">Despite more and more books are made available in electronic format and technology  is increasingly present in children’s everyday life, thus far the potential of the electronic  book (eBook) medium has been only partially exploited. With the Highly Engaging  eBook Experiences (HEBE) project we studied how to design and evaluate eBooks for  children with the goal of making the reading experience more engaging. The project  began with an investigation of the many facets that characterize the reading  experience of children in order to understand how it could possibly be enhanced by  electronic books. In a later stage an intergenerational design team used different  techniques of Cooperative Inquiry to explore a range of design ideas. Then, based on  those ideas, we developed a prototype of enhanced eBook and elaborated a shortlist  of design recommendations that are intended to help designers in creating more  engaging eBooks. The research project ended with a stage of evaluation where  children’s User Experience with the eBook prototype was assessed. We took  inspiration from Csikszentmihalyi’s Flow theory to define a benchmark for evaluating  the reading experience. Then, by means of the Experience Sampling Method (ESM),  we investigated and collected data on the reading experience of two groups of children,  one of which read an eBook enhanced following our design recommendations while the  other read a basic version of the same eBook. Following a mixed-method approach,  with quantitative analysis we verified whether participants who read the enhanced  eBook had a better reading experience, while with qualitative analysis we tried to  understand why. The results of the evaluation showed that that an eBook designed  following our design recommendations may have a positive effect on children’s reading  experience by making it more engaging.</dc:description>
