An extended methodology for educational software design: some critical points

This paper is part of a series of research lines related to the design, development and evaluation of educational software. These research lines intend not only to account for the problems faced by professors when attempting to incorporate computational applications to their educational practices, but also to provide them with a computational solution for their developments. In this particular case, the methodological aspect of the topic is considered to be relevant, since this is a crucial point to build a new product. This is why the activities matrix of the processes is presented, integrating pedagogical aspects to the conventional activities matrix, this integration being the central core of the authors' proposal.
