Usability test of WYRED Platform

Abstract

WYRED (netWorked Youth Research for Empowerment in the Digital so-ciety) is a European H2020 Project that aims to provide a framework for re-search in which children and young people can express and explore their perspectives and interests in relation to digital society, but also a platform from which they can communicate their perspectives to other stakeholders effectively through innovative engagement processes. It will do this by im-plementing a generative research cycle involving networking, dialogue, par-ticipatory research and interpretation phases centered around and driven by children and young people, out of which a diverse range of outputs, critical perspectives and other insights will emerge to inform policy and decision-making in relation to children and young people’s needs in relation to digi-tal society. The WYRED Platform is already developed, but the target group, young people, should accept it to ensure project aims. This paper presents the usability test done to evolve the Platform
