In the field of computer aided language learning (CALL), there is a need for emphasizing the importance of the user. User-Centered Computer Aided Language Learning presents methodologies, strategies, and design approaches for building interfaces for a user-centered CALL environment, creating a deeper understanding of the opportunities and challenges of the field. User-Centered Computer Aided Language Learning acts as a guide to help educators, administrators, professionals and researchers find the basis of a framework for the development and management of CALL environments that are enriched...

This book covers various aspects of universal Web design--from disabilities to cultural differences--including prototyping, analysis, and evaluation with an emphasis on universal and inclusive design. It highlights several prominent issues in this area, such as aging and gender issues, and provides the basis of a framework for the development and evaluation of Web sites for people with special needs.

This book offers guidance to all stakeholders involved in online learning: organizations and businesses, developers, tutors, students, and evaluators. It provides best practices for the different phases of developing online learning communities from analysis and design phase to the development, use, evaluation, and maintenance stage.

It is becoming increasingly necessary to systematically take into account human interaction and activity with the completely renewed social and cultural environments that such digital environments and interfaces are now capable of delivering.
