Developing Software for Rural Communities: A Community-Centred ApproachAuthor:
Yeo, A., Ng, E-L., Zawiyah, N. & S.F.J. SamsonAbstract:
Existing software development methodologies (SDMs) which were developed for use in urban settings may not be appropriate when applied in the rural context. An examination of activities conducted in a software development project for a rural community reveals a need for a community-centred SDM which incorporates a Participatory Action Research approach.Original publication:
