Abstract
Description
A prototype of a web-based interface for an online database was developed to be used by youth organizations
in Dar-es-Salaam. A participatory approach involving secondary students in the identification of user
interface requirements, in designing and testing the prototype was used. A questionnaire was designed and
manned in seven secondary schools in Dar-es-Salaam to estimate the Internet usage. Interviews were
conducted to countercheck the questionnaire responses. The interview and the questionnaire helped to come
up with a set of user requirements for the web-based interface of an online information search. From the
specifications of the user requirements the author was able to create a youth-friendly web based prototype
that can be used by youth groups in Dar-es-Salaam.
