Principles of User-Centred Design

Requirement of the product

Things to consider: discussing the needs of the

people (user/learners) who will use the product. Cooperative design Participatory design Contextual design

analyzing any existing systems to discover the problems of current design

Development of the productThings to consider: producing a variety of

representations until a suitable artefact is produced.

Eg. Range of representations is

called models1. The wind tunnel experiments show models being used to test ideas

2. The computer model is used to make predictions

THINKA.

i) An ability to interpret map in geographythe learner should …………….. (list of abilities)

B. Create and interpret the representation according your subject area and write a statement that describe your model. (You may want to use diagram to describe your model).Things to consider in describing the model is a TASK

DIYIf you were to develop a learning package, you would first determine the requirements by critically examining other packages and analysing the intended user/learner’s needs and abilities.
