Abstract

In this paper we present a proposal of inclusive educational software design based on principles of user-centered design (UCD), user experience design (UXD) and agile methodologies (SCRUM). The main goal of this proposal is to identify usability problems and UX factors in early stages of educational software development for users with special educational needs. Furthermore, we also present a User Interface (UI) design and its evaluation conducted with experts and students. This UI evaluation has been divided in several phases, using diverse methods with different actors. Prototyping and usability heuristics are presented as a fast and cost-efficient but still effective and accurate evaluation method for user experience with educational software.
