Abstract: This work introduces concepts from usability engineering and user centered design into software development in the educational context. As still most digital geomedia on the educational market are based on classical GIS principles made for professionals there is a need for usable tools that fit the needs of students and teachers. A prototype WebGIS application for schools to present various geospatial datasets with an intuitive user interface will be presented. The used technologies and GUI elements are described. Usability tests with secondary school students are conducted and are used to assess the performance of the prototype web application in a realistic environment.

GIS as a technology has come a long way, from the
early adoption of technical wizardry to the ubiquitous,
if unconscious use by the masses. The creation
of the GISociety is on its way through technological
development, theoretical and empirical scientific
research and inclusion of technology into education
with increasing pedagogical justification.
Defining new dimensions of hard- and software,
brainware and orgware are all needed to further
develop the GISociety.
