OxTalks is Changing
Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Features of apps, digital games and e-books which influence joint media engagement between adults and children aged 2 to 7 years: A multi-level meta-analysis

This study explores the impact of digital design features on Joint Media Engagement (JME) between adults and young children aged 2-7 years using interactive digital media, such as apps, games, and e-books. We employed a robust variance estimation to create multi-level meta-analysis models of 15 experimental studies, accounting for the interdependence between within-study effect sizes. The results reveal an overall positive effect of digital design features on adult-child interactions, with a larger influence on oral language-related interactions (e.g. quality of adult language input). However, little evidence was found of the impact on longer-term outcomes such as child learning. Sub-group analyses indicate positive effects on parents, cognitive or instructive adult-child interactions and for e-books or literacy apps (vs other kinds of apps). In terms of specific design features, the strongest evidence was found for the use of embedded dialogic (conversational) prompts embedded within e-books. We discuss these findings in relation to study characteristics contributing to these results.
