RITEC Design Toolbox
Our research findings have now been put to use in a design toolbox, produced by teams at UNICEF, in collaboration with a range of partners, including representatives of our research team! The RITEC Design Toolbox (RDT) provides designers with practical tools for incorporating support for children’s well-being into their design process. It provides an overview of how to design for children’s well-being in digital play, including a list of relevant game design features.
