Modern HCI recognizes the multifaceted nature of design approaches that cater
to diverse user needs and contexts. Four significant design strategies include
user-centered design, activity-centered design, systems design, and genius
design. Each of these approaches offers unique insights and methodologies for
crafting effective interfaces.

technology industry, showcasing how these skills are used in fields such as
artificial intelligence and web application development.
Limited Exposure to Industry Needs: Students often graduate with theoretical
knowledge but lack exposure to the specific programming languages and skills
in demand by the technology industry. Key Learn addresses this by focusing
on teaching programming languages that are relevant to the labor market,
thereby increasing students’ employability and Outdated Learning Methods:
Traditional educational approaches may not keep pace with the rapidly
evolving landscape of programming languages and technologies. Key Learn
leverages modern mobile technology to ensure that the education program
remains current, providing students with up-to-date knowledge and skills that
align with industry demands.
• Approach adopted:
user-centered design
The primary design approach leveraged by Key Learn is the User-Centered Design
(UCD(approach. This approach prioritizes understanding the needs and preferences of endusers (students) throughout the design and development process. By incorporating user
feedback, Key Learn ensures that the software prototype is user-friendly, meets educational
needs, and provides a positive learning experience. UCD aligns well with the goal of creating an
interactive and engaging learning environment tailored to users’ requirements. Additionally,
iterative design and continuous user feedback loops are key components of UCD, allowing for
ongoing improvements based on real user experiences. This approach is chosen to address the
specific needs and challenges of the students who will be using the Key Learn platform.
3. Requirements Gathering:
Engage potential users through an online survey, interviews, or observations,
tailored to your chosen user group. Aim for at least 10 survey responses and
conduct two interviews or observations (or a combination).

The design phase is a precursor to prototyping. This involves visualizing and
detailing the UI design. Based on your discoveries from Part One, articulate how
the prototype will be fashioned and function. Your tasks involve:
•
Conceptualizing the Design:
o Craft at least three preliminary layouts that represent user requirements,
the problems the prototype intends to solve, and the envisioned user
interactions.
o Explain how the chosen design approach(es) from Chapter 2 influenced
these conceptual designs. For instance, if activity-centered design was a
primary choice, how does the design cater to specific user activities?
o Simple sketches or wireframes can be utilized for this task.
Part Two

Our design of the Key learn application has been intricately shaped according
to the principles of the user-centered design approach. From the early stages
of development, we prioritized understanding the unique needs and
preferences of our users through extensive research and gathering feedback.
This iterative process involves users at every step, from defining the problem
and specifying requirements to testing prototypes and improving features
based on user insights.
The incorporation of a feedback mechanism, focus on customization, and
flexibility in Key learn (programming language)are direct results of this usercentric methodology. By constantly aligning our design decisions with the
valuable feedback and preferences of our users, we have created an app that,
but also provides an easy-to-use, intuitive, and highly personalized experience
tailored to their diverse needs. Needs and expectations.
