ABSTRACT
This research describes a user-centered design effort to facilitate community supported agriculture programs. This process resulted in a paper prototype of a web-based system that connects a diverse user group more efficiently and robustly than at present. The prototype was evaluated by several stakeholders who were able to successfully accomplish their tasks.

User-centered design, activity-centered design, and goal-directed design: a review of three methods for designing web applications
SIGDOC '09: Proceedings of the 27th ACM international conference on Design of communicationWhen conducting research with users in order to design web applications, the practitioner has a variety of methods from which to choose. This paper examines three such methods'User-Centered Design (UCD), Goal-Directed Design (GDD), and Activity-Centered ...
The anatomy of prototypes: Prototypes as filters, prototypes as manifestations of design ideas
The role of prototypes is well established in the field of HCI and Design. A lack of knowledge, however, about the fundamental nature of prototypes still exists. Researchers have attempted to identify different types of prototypes, such as low- vs. high-...
