Abstract

User Centred Courseware Development (UCCD) offers an alternative approach to courseware design. Instead of the traditional approach involving only the designers, UCCD provides a learner-centred design approach. It offers a comprehensive alternative design process, involving different activities, practices and methodologies appropriate for the different phases of system development. This paper describes UCCD in the context of a case study involving the development of courseware for a high school in Stafford, UK (students aged 11-18). It shows how UCCD can be used to design effective and usable courseware which meets users requirements and expectations.
