User-centered design approach is a contemporary design approach which actively involves users at every stage of the design
process for the development of more effective, efficient and safe products. This paper is based on a case study that attempts to
adapt this approach into course design in order to increase the effectiveness of teaching, and the learnability and success of
university students. The paper discusses the phases of the designing process including analysis of student needs, limitations and
expectancies in the teaching process, designing teaching activities, and assessment of students about courses designed with
respect to user-centered design approach.
