ABSTRACT

This chapter provides a case study that chronicles a user-centered design and development process, as well as formative and summative usability and user experience testing for a transmedia digital literacy curriculum for kindergarten through fifth grade (K–5) teachers and students. A research team engaged in a user-centered research and development approach to the creation of Professor Garfield’s 21st Century Literacy Curriculum, a comprehensive, web-based tool for K–5 students and a virtual professional learning series for K–5 teachers. User Interface and User Experience (UI/UX) testing included iterative concept testing, low- and medium-fidelity prototype testing, remote usability testing with teachers, and user experience testing with students.
