The Joan Ganz Cooney Center and the LIFE Center convened a meeting of twenty-two researchers and media producers for a daylong workshop to define “The New Coviewing: Promoting Children’s Learning through Joint Media Engagement.” The workshop, held at Northwestern University’s School of Education and Social Policy, brought together a diverse group of learning scientists, developmentalists, communication scholars, and media producers to discuss shared uses of media between children and their parents, teachers, siblings, and friends. Topics for the workshop included the history and future of coviewing research, design considerations for technologies that leverage joint media engagement, and identifying opportunities for collaboration among industry and university partners.
