Abstract

Paper prototyping is a method for designing, evaluating and improving user interfaces. This paper reports on a paper prototyping exercise that was used primarily to involve end users in the decision between two design approaches to the user interface for a web-based searchable university course database. The methodology and findings from a series of usability tests conducted with paper prototypes are discussed.
