| Summary: | This paper describes participatory activities with university lecturers to design an online community. The objective of
this study is to engage the users of an online community to collaboratively design their online community. We
speculated that by involving them in the design team, we can identify their specific requirements, and they will accept
and use the system. However, lecturers have heavy workload and tight schedule. For that reason, we thought that paper
prototyping is the most suitable tool to be used because it is fast and easy to create. Therefore, paper prototyping
technique has been adapted in a two-day participatory design session. We found that paper prototyping is indeed the
most suitable technique to elicit requirements from the end users under a time constraint. Moreover, participants came
out with unexpected requirements and novel interface.
