User-Centered Design (UCD) focuses on deeply understanding the needs of users and ensuring these needs are met by tools and software. UCD methodology aims to make tools easier to use, reduce time spent in development and the need for user support, as well as make it easier to create and maintain documentation. The goal of UCD is to ultimately make a tool that meets user needs and is a pleasure to use. This workshop will give an overview of UCD and several examples of how UCD practices are already being used at several institutions. Attendees will leave with ideas of how to incorporate UCD into their tool development as well as general resources to get started.
以用户为中心的设计（UCD）侧重于深入了解用户的需求，并确保工具和软件满足这些需求。UCD 方法旨在使工具更易于使用，减少开发时间和用户支持的需求，并使创建和维护文档变得更加容易。UCD 的目标是最终创建一个满足用户需求且使用愉悦的工具。本研讨会将概述 UCD 以及在多个机构中已经使用 UCD 实践的几个示例。与会者将获得如何将 UCD 纳入其工具开发以及开始使用的一般资源的想法。
