COSTA, António Pedro; LOUREIRO, Maria João  and  REIS, Luís Paulo. Metodologia Híbrida de Desenvolvimento Centrado no Utilizador aplicada ao Software Educativo. RISTI [online]. 2010, n.6, pp.1-16. ISSN 1646-9895.

This paper describes the Hybrid User Centered Development Methodology (HUCDM). This methodology is a simple, iterative and incremental development process. The methodology is based on structured disciplined development processes, on principles of User Centered Design (UCD) processes, specified in the International Organization for Standardization - ISO 13407, as well as on practices and values of agile methods for software development. The process consists of 4 main phases: planning of educational guidelines, storyboard design, implementation and maintenance/operation. The prototyping and evaluation are carried out in order to cross the entire process. The HUCDM is being implemented in a Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) of educational resources development. The first resource that was based in this methodology was the Courseware Ser_e - The Human Being and the Natural Resources.

Keywords : Educational Software Development Methodologies; Software Engineering; Agile Methods; Hybrid User Centered Development Methodology; User Centered Design.
