The Dutch broadcaster NTR is developing a Smart Speaker Action (voice application) for primary schools’ history classes. This voice application will be used by students to have conversations with various historical characters. Through this interplay students are learning more about a certain period in time.
To validate and be able to optimize the voice application, UXkids tested the voice application among students. Students got the chance to interact with Willem van Oranje.
Interviews with teachers, user tests and focus groups with kids, gave clear insights on the experiences, needs, and desires of both students and teachers. The result? A bunch of insights on:
– The usage in the context of schools
– The perspectives of teachers and student on learning through voice interaction
– The usability of a voice application
– Points of improvements
This project resulted in a report with findings and recommendations for the optimization of the voice interaction.
