1/5 of the "Future of UX" Ignite session from UXPA 2014. The purpose of this session is to get attendees dreaming about the possible, the likely, and the probable future of UX Design - and to inspire them to be a part of making these dreams a reality. We will have at least 5 visionary speakers directed to talk about what they think is possible, likely, and probable 20 years, 50 years, and 100 years with regard to personal and organizational technology design. Speakers will be asked to consider the following questions in their presentations: What similarities and differences do you foresee in how people think about technology in the next 20, 50, and 100 years? What trends will have come and gone? What trends are lasting How will the UX profession change? How will businesses , users and UX professionals collaborate on design challenges? What would you like to see in the future of UX Design and why?

The purpose of usability testing is to identify areas of a design that interfere with a user’s ability to use that product effectively, efficiently, and enjoyably. Therefore, we observe while a small group of representative users completes a set of tasks; however, rarely are people with disabilities included in usability tests. That is, unless the purpose is to specifically identify accessibility issues. Why do we keep these studies separate? Are people with disabilities not completing the same tasks as everyone else? Rather than separating usability and accessibility testing, or worse, not including people with disabilities in testing at all, why not simply include them as participants in your usability tests? In this presentation, we’ll show you how easy it can be to do just that and when it is most appropriate. While, yes, there are some extra considerations, usability testing with people with disabilities proves to be worthwhile.

Measuring Visual Attentiveness: Eye Tracking on Wearable Devices

UXPA International

An exciting array of new wearable devices are available to consumers, but very few have proven to be useful enough to become a staple of our daily lives. User experience researchers have been able to collect lots of data about usage habits through diary studies and run usability tests to understand if users can use these devices. While informative, these methods are unable to capture the subtle, yet critical behavior of visual attentiveness. The untapped value of eye tracking for wearables is not necessarily what they are looking at on the device, it is how frequently and how long they spend looking at it. Attendees will learn why visual attentiveness is a key metric to understand the usefulness and usability of wearables.

Out of the Lab and Into the Wild! Mobile Ethnography for Richer UX Insights -...

UXPA International

You know what your users experience in the lab setting, when they are in a controlled environment. But what happens when they actually take your product into the real world and try to use it? The technology explosion in the market research field has resulted in a wealth of new tools that allow UX designers and researchers to deploy users to test sites, apps, and products in the real world and report back on their experiences in ways that are actionable and meaningful. This session will arm attendees with the knowledge and technique they need to conduct mobile ethnography studies on their own. We will cover the end-to-end process of designing your research, identifying the right tool to conduct the research, and how to report back the results in engaging ways.

Under the Knife: Plastic Surgery for Classic Software

UXPA International

How can you tackle the process of updating a mature interface? In this presentation, I will discuss our team’s approach to quickly transform the look and feel of GoToMeeting, GoToWebinar and GoToTraining for Mac over a period of four months. Learn how we kept our project on track by saying no to all but the most essential improvements, and how we incorporated design feedback without falling prey to out-of-scope requirements. I'll explain my design process and how I supported the team in my role as scrum master. You will see visual design changes that were tried and discarded, and most importantly, what impact the visual changes had on our user community. This talk will cover what can realistically be done in a short period of time to improve your interface without overcommitting, and where to go after the first release.

New Ideas for Designing Mobile Web Applications

UXPA International

UXPA 2013 Annual Conference July 11, 2013 3:00 - 7:00pm ET by Cindy Lu There has been a long debate about HTML 5 vs Native app. Native apps provide rich interactive experience and performance while Mobile Web can be designed once to run in multiple devices across various platforms. Industry experts predict that through 2014, there will be a long shift to HTML 5 from native apps as HTML 5 becomes more capable. A challenge to designers is to design a better interactive experience while the technology is still evolving. This workshop will bring together UX practitioners to discuss new ideas about designing mobile web applications.

Kids say the darndest things1

UXPA International

When we think of UX participants, we typically think of adults, but there's a growing generation of kids who are bypassing their parents in their tech savviness. For companies thinking ahead to new technologies, it makes sense to include the insight of their young audience who will soon question "Why wouldn't I do it that way?" Kids testing and UX research can be fun and insightful, but poses a unique set of challenges. In this session, we'll learn which methodologies work best for kids and some practical tools for making the most out of our time with them.

UXPA International

Abi Reynolds's talk from the UXPA 2014 Ignite session "Are you a Super Hero or a Super Villain? Using Design Psychology for Good (and Evil)." Design Psychology is a powerful tool to wield and can be used to the benefit or detriment of our users; motivating them to behave in ways that can be in their interest, or our own. Our panel of experienced professionals, each with an interest in different facets of design psychology, will choose a white hat or black hat - some taking the side of good and honest intentions, with others taking the dark side where manipulation and coercion reign. On which side will you fall?

Win User Loyalty by Targeting Logic AND Emotion (Mike Donahue)

UXPA International

Emotions are arguably the most powerful motivator for humans and yet most projects lack an implicit strategy to target emotions. This talk will present insight on how and why to use emotion as a strategic target for UX design. It will cover the 4 Stages of Accomplishing Goals, the factors that affect how strongly we feel about an experience, what causes us to focus more on the positive or negative aspects of an experience, what stops us dead in our tracks, and how to create an experience that satisfies both the logical and emotional parts of our brain.

“Faux”cus Groups: Reimagining Groups to Uncover Behavioral Insights in User R...

UXPA International

What if there was a way to take advantage of the benefits of group sessions without losing the individual depth of findings of 1:1 sessions? Over the last 7 years, our team has applied numerous research methods to align with client needs and research goals. Having discovered firsthand that no research method is perfect, the team has created a new approach to group-based research. Inspired by Co-Design, Focus Groups, and Contextual Inquiry, we’ve combined individual activities with group sessions in order to bring to light individual’s experiences, motivations, and ideas without losing the creative aspect of the group dynamic. The approach, Collaborative Experience Mapping, allows participants to provide individual in-depth feedback while avoiding many of the pitfalls of group-based research. We will present an interactive deep-dive into the nuances of our methodology; explain what we’ve learned throughout our projects and how you can apply it to your own research efforts.

Skills you will learn include: facilitating groups and understanding group dynamics, motivating behavior change in individuals, reading your team members' nonverbal cues, and providing an environment for change to occur. The more you understand people's behaviors, the greater impact you can make in your UX work, both with your team and beyond.

Design for Findability: metadata, metrics and collaboration on LOC.gov

UXPA International

UXPA 2013 Annual Conference Friday July 12, 2013 3:00pm - 4:00pm ET by Jill MacNeice The Library of Congress has 2.2 million digitized searchable items online, including 89,000 web pages, and catalog records, books, musical scores, films, newspapers and 1 million plus images. How does anyone ever find anything? In Design for Findability, I’ll talk about what the Library of Congress is doing on the interface, in the back end, and at the institutional level, to make content and objects on LOC.gov more findable. And I invite you to share your own efforts to enhance findability on your sites. The goal is to create a framework for findability that be used for many different types of sites.

Hollywood has a lot to answer for uxpa2015

UXPA International

In science fiction and action films, gestural interfaces are everywhere, and new gestural input technologies generate a lot of anticipation with their kickstarter videos. And yet in the real world, gestural input (with the exception of multitouch) has gained little traction. Why is that? We've been working with a variety of gestural technologies, trying to incorporate them into professional products, and we have learned where the problems are, and what we need to do to cross the divide between hype and practice. This presentation looks at the current state of gestural input technologies, analyses the strengths and failings of each, and charts a course to using them successfully. We present a case study showing how and why gestures need to be curated across different form-factors, and give some tips on how to test.

Aggressive Research Wins C-Suite Buy-in (Michael Dutton & Colby Raley)

UXPA International

Ten years ago, the usability community comprised small groups of knowledgeable people who were fighting to convince the world about the importance of usability. Today, thanks to the proliferation of web-based business, usability is an everyday term with many supporters. Unfortunately, many companies only pay lip service to usability and often neglect to incorporate it into a structured design process. Even if they try to incorporate usability, it is often done with an internal bias, from the perspective that their product is the best and only needs small adjustments in specific areas to beat out the competition. We found a way to reach the topmost levels of leadership and convince them about the importance of a holistic approach to usability. We discovered that the way to get buy-in from the C-Suite (CEO, CIO, CFO) is very different from the way we get buy-in from working-level managers and designers.

Gamificatiom in E-Commerce (Xiao Chen)

UXPA International

Since 2010, gamification has started being popularized as the next big thing. But it is not simply replicating game elements to manipulate the target audience. The key is to drive engagement and actions. Companies need to deeply appreciate the characteristics of the people and the culture, develop suitable playing fields and game mechanics, and design idealized user experience. In order to analyze how gamification works in complicated business context, this presentation focuses on gamification in e-Commerce. Firstly, factors that influence shopping motivation are analyzed, and the different applications of gamification for common purposes and for e-Commerce are compared. Secondly, a case study on gamification in the two biggest online ‘Shopping Sprees’ in China is presented. The detailed case study will inspire the attendees on how to define playing fields between player motivations and business objectives, how to choose game mechanics based on culture, and how to design game-like user experience to motivate the intended audience.

UXPA International

Imagine creating experiences for your rookie designers’ first couple years that are rewarding, enriching, and full of learning — without taking all your time or energy to manage. We’ll share techniques any team leader can put into practice using real-life examples from associate programs, apprenticeships, and internships. Topics include onboarding, varied work challenges, developing multiple capabilities, buddy systems, group sharing, guest speakers, time with executives, and mentorship. We’ll also share how to operationalize learning, soft skills like communication and collaboration, setting boundaries, time management, achieving deep work, and more skills we all wish we were explicitly taught early on. We’ll focus on modern-day associate programs, but even if you can’t create a full-fledged program, you’ll leave this session with ideas to use with your fledgling professionals. The benefits go beyond efficiency; it’s a foundation for culture, camaraderie, autonomy, and mastery.

UXPA International

User experience can be drastically elevated by combining data science insights with user-based insights from research. Data analytics on its own can make themes and correlations difficult to explain and to provide accurate recommendations. For example, themes identified via large global surveys and usage data can be better understood with UX insights from focused user research, such as user interviews and/or cognitive walkthroughs. This presentation will highlight the complimentary nature of data science and UX and will focus on the benefits of bringing the two disciplines together. This will be buttressed with practical examples of enterprise projects and applications that combined data and skills from the two disciplines, guidance on how the two disciplines can better work together, and the skills needed to improve as a UX professional when working with data science teams.

UXPA 2023: UX Fracking: Using Mixed Methods to Extract Hidden Insights

UXPA International

Users do not always accurately describe what they mean or feel. There are many reasons for this, ranging from politeness to poor introspection, to lack of sufficient technical vocabulary. Fortunately, UX researchers have tools in their trade to deduce what was really meant. We call this UX Fracking, a mixed methods approach that is optimized for extracting hidden user insights. We will illustrate the dangers of inadequate, superficial research, and how this may lead to outcomes incapable of addressing the users’ core issues. We will explore ways to avoid these pitfalls by leveraging mixed research methods to test hypotheses about the users’ intent and needs. This starts with a thorough understanding of who the user is, their goals, and how they work today, to an approach that combines surveys, interviews, and comment analysis with behavioral observation, and finally, validating the newly discovered user insights with the users themselves.

We will describe the tools and methods used to create a research database organized by user roles, along with examples and short exercises to help attendees think through user roles within their own context. By the end of the session, attendees should be aware of tools and approaches for: Organizing user research information in a database Disseminating user role information to product and design teams Managing a user roles database as part of a long term UX Research program If you’re ready to ditch personas but don’t know how, this session is for you!

UXPA 2023: F@#$ User Personas

UXPA International

We will present a case study that details our approach for replacing user personas with user roles for a multi-national SAAS company. We will take the audience on a journey that starts with an executive request for personas, travels through the tribulations of realizing personas suck, and concludes with convincing others to accept a new and innovative way to understand the people who use the product. Our key message is that personas lack real value for organizations that already understand the importance of empathizing with users. Building user-centered products requires easily accessible and well organized user insights. We will discuss defining users through a process of stakeholder consultation and content review, and structuring data around Jobs to Be Done and product interactions. We will also discuss the dissemination of user roles in our organization using relational databases, interactive dashboards and online wikis. Spoiler alert, our stakeholders loved user roles!

UXPA International

Agile Methodology refers to software design and development methodologies centered around the idea of iterative design and development, where requirements and concepts evolve through collaboration between self-organizing cross-functional teams. Thus, Agile enables teams to deliver value faster, with greater quality and predictability, and greater aptitude to respond to change. With evolving product features every design sprint, designers & researchers find it difficult to follow the design process. This sometimes leads to designs delivered in haste or sub-par design artifacts which result in UX debt. UX debt is accumulated when design teams take actions or shortcuts to expedite the delivery of a piece of functionality or a project which later needs to be refactored. It is the result of prioritizing speedy delivery of design to the development team over a perfect experience journey. Experience Maps is a great tool to practice UX in Agile as well as manage UX Debt.

UXPA 2023: High-Fives over Zoom: Creating a Remote-First Creative Team

UXPA International

I started my current job in March of 2020. Many of us remember something clearly about the month that COVID started to shut things down. I remember being surprised to hear that my new on-site-only job would be starting in my living room over zoom. How do you lead a design team when none of the team members live near each other and creativity is highly collaborative? Taking from over a decade of working in HR software, I knew whatever I did needed to put people first. That what employees love about a job is often deeper than the work, it’s the culture, the relationships and people they work with. It’s the feeling that their work has value, and their contribution matters. In this talk I will walk though some of the rituals and best practices I have learned over the last two years building a remote-first creative team.

UXPA International

As humans, we are biased by design. Our intricate and fascinating brains have developed shortcuts through centuries of human evolution. They reduce an unimaginable load of paralyzing decisions, keep us alive, and help us navigate this complex world. Now, these life saving biases affect how we behave with modern technology. Understanding some of the theories and reasons why these biases exist is the key to unlocking their power. In this workshop we will cover some theories around how the brain works. We will review some of our mental shortcuts, take a look at some common biases, and learn how they affect our users, our research, and our designs. Lastly we will review some advantages of biases, and ways to identify and reduce bias. This workshop is targeted for designers who do their own research, and researchers looking to learn more about removing bias from their studies.
