Few generally accepted techniques exist for approaching the unstructured problem of user interface design. This lack of tools complicates the teaching of this skill to beginning students. This paper briefly describes one such technique, Goal-Directed Design, (Cooper, 1999) and recounts the experiences and insights gained from using this technique in teaching user design concepts and techniques in an introductory systems analysis and design course.

Keywords: user interaction design, systems analysis, personas
