Abstract EN

Some settings challenge a literal interpretation of user-centered design orthodoxy; that design is best done for a user, by designing with that user.

We explore the value that a copresent proxy and interpreter can bring to certain hard-to-reach or difficult-to-interpret situations; in this case the evaluation of educational software intended to be used by children.

We discuss the effect that introducing a teacher had on the results of the evaluation and conclude that adding an expert-based component to evaluations increased its diagnostic power.
