Item Cyberheroes: An Interactive Ebook for Improving Children’s Online Privacy(Scienceopen, 2017-07) Zhang-Kennedy, Leah; Chiasson, SoniaWe designed, illustrated, and developed Cyberheroes, an educational interactive ebook that teaches children about online privacy. The ebook was evaluated with children and parents, and had positive effects on children’s privacy knowledge, and improved their privacy-conscious behaviour.Item Engaging Children About Online Privacy Through Storytelling in an Interactive Comic(Scienceopen, 2017-07) Zhang-Kennedy, Leah; Baig, Khadija; Chiasson, SoniaChildren’s privacy is put at risk through online sharing of location-based information. We study the effectiveness of an educational interactive comic on improving 11- to 13-year-old children’s privacy knowledge and behaviour immediately and one week after reading. Children’s privacy knowledge increased after reading either the comic or the text-only control, but the comic promoted superior knowledge retention a week later and was more successful at influencing children’s reported privacy behaviour than the control. Our 22 child-parent pairs found the comic facilitated learning for children, engaging, and easy to use. We discuss the implication on children’s short and long-term knowledge retention and behaviour, and the educational potential of comics at addressing the challenges of privacy and security education for children.
