Developing a part-time lecturer appointment notification system using UCD

This paper describes a part-time lecturer Appointment Notification System for use in the Curriculum and Instruction Development Division Burapha University. We developed software by using a UCD technique. We can reduce the errors in requirements gathering because in every step of the process the user will help us to confirm requirements. This article is presented in 6 parts: part one is the introduction and part two is a part time lecturer at Burapha University. Part three is about the tools used in the development of the information systems that include Open Source Software. Part four is about user-centered design (UCD). In part five we analyze a new system and compare it to with Burapha's existing system: HR (Personnel System) and TQF (Thai Qualifications Framework for Higher Education). And last part is about using UCD with software development and software installations.
