"In recent years there has been increasing concern about the apparent estrangement of developers of digital educational resources from those who are intended to use these resources - children, teachers or lecturers. The recent DfES E-Learning Strategy Consultation Document highlighted this as an area of concern, arguing that: ‘The lack of a direct relationship between the users and the suppliers means that the products developed are less likely to meet learners’ and teachers’ real needs.’"
This publication presents strategies for co-design with users.
