User-Centred Design in Educational Applications: A systematic literature review

User-centred Design (UCD) is an approach used to develop an efficient, effective and satisfying user needs application by putting the user in the centre of the design. The primary purpose of this article is to comprehensively analyse the previous research around education application developed through user-centred design methods and draw a map for the best practice for the UCD process. The findings allow education application user interface designers to improve student engagement, motivation, and performance of their application. Adding to the knowledge base of user-centred design applications across a wide range of learning contexts will establish if UDC design improvements made are universally applicable and effective.
