A User Centered Approach in Designing a Career Decision Making Assistant

Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Human - Computer Interaction - Year 2008, Vol 1, Issue 3

Abstract

The present paper analyses the results of a user need research during the development of an intelligent assistant to support decisions in choosing the specialty in higher education. Our research was composed of multiple research projects focused on different categories of possible users. The methodology was mostly qualitative. The results allowed us to reach a model of the decisional process as well as to identify the main difficulties and opportunities during this process. The identified opportunities were then associated with proposals regarding the form and functionalities that should be imbedded in an intelligent decision support system.
