Abstract

In software engineering, user-centered design and development are now standard practice with an emphasis on rapid prototyping and getting input from representative users. Taking the typical models of user-centered design in software engineering as a reference and considering the research of user-centered design in educational technology, the following sections will introduce the users’ perspective of educational technology. Emphasis is on user experience, user-centered design, learner-centered design, and the ARCS motivation model.
