The paper describes a novel approach to collaborative design of educational software, one that is based on the use of fictional characters (we introduce the idea of design alter egos) as a means towards eliciting and understanding students’ requirements. Through the presentation of the design process, a case study application for the design of a course website and a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the results the paper’s aim is to suggest the use of design alter egos as an appropriate, effective and efficient means of co-designing educational software with students. |
