Participatory design: A user centered design approach in which users are actively involved in the design process of a system or product that addresses their specific needs.; Rapid prototyping: A user centered design approach in which users participate in a rapid, iterative series of tryout and revision cycles during the design of a system or a product until an acceptable version is created.; Usability: The ease with which humans can use a system or a product to accomplish their goals efficiently, effectively, and with satisfaction.; User centered design: A design philosophy and approach that places users at the center of the design process from the stages of planning and designing the system requirements to implementing and testing the product.
