The document discusses the Texas Coastal Bend Collection (TCBC), a digital archive that shares historical resources from the Texas Coastal Bend region. The TCBC aims to make hidden local histories approachable by focusing on relationships between people, places, events, and cultural assets through an exploratory digital platform. Interviews, images, texts, and other materials are connected and can be explored laterally based on user curiosity. The unique design of the TCBC is intended to strengthen historical narratives of the region through linked open data.

Today I'd like to present both a proposal for something called the 'Participatory Commons', and a provocation (or conversation starter): there's a paradox in our hopes for deeper audience engagement through crowdsourcing: projects that don't grow with their participants will lose them as they develop new skills and interests and move on. This talk presents some options for dealing with this paradox and suggests a Participatory Commons provides a way to take a sector-wide view of active engagement with heritage content and redefine our sense of what it means when everybody wins. [I was invited to Copenhagen to talk about my research on crowdsourcing in cultural heritage at the 3rd international Sharing is Caring seminar on April 1. I'm sharing my notes in advance to make life easier for those awesome people following along in a second or third language, particularly since I'm delivering my talk via video.

5 Reasons Archives are an Untapped Goldmine for Wikipedians and Wikimedians

Sara Snyder

See video of the original presentation at http://youtu.be/PptQZmf4FKs Archival repositories are places which hold the original records created by people and organizations--paper, audiovisual, and electronic--preserving and providing access the primary sources that form the backbone of historical research. They are also a treasure trove of unique, reliable sources and free media for Wikipedia editors. Moreover, professional archivists often share the same driving passion that motivates so many volunteer editors: the desire to organize valuable information and make it accessible to all. This presentation will introduce you to the basics of archival records and research (often a somewhat mysterious process to the uninitiated) and lay out the top 5 reasons why partnerships with archival repositories are of mutual benefit to Wikimedians and archivists alike.

Documenting Ferguson: Building a community digital repository

Chris Freeland

The August 2014 shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, along with other recent police-involved shootings around the country have inspired demonstrations, conversation, debate and calls for systemic change in our society. Soon after Brown’s shooting, Washington University Libraries and other St. Louis cultural heritage institutions established a repository to document events in or inspired by Ferguson. Appropriately named Documenting Ferguson, this community-sourced open repository now has more than 1,500 files of digital photographs, video recordings and other media contributed from all over the country. These are viewable online at http://digital.wustl.edu/ferguson. Video of this talk available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6whGNsesYA.

IA-for-AI: An evolving framework for a changing IA practice

Design for Context

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is dramatically changing—reshaping—the human and design landscape of computers, the internet, and society. It is increasingly used in engines behind many decision-making tools and information resources, as well as in machines (vehicles, drones, robots, etc.). AI uses information models, structured data/content, real-world contextual sensor data, and formalized instructions to shape the machine’s “understanding” of information spaces and tasks. These elements are familiar to anyone working in the field of IA and UX. But the focus is changing: We now need methods to shape software that learns dynamically in real-time interaction with users. This talk challenges us to engage in the transformational change to our practice, designing for and with AI. Alongside a reflection on our vital roles, I present an emerging Collaboration/Action Framework to support AI design, helping us think about language, models, methods, and how we communicate with developers and stakeholders. During the conference, rich conversations emerged within the IA community about how our involvement in creating responsible and engaging AI tools will change and shape the IA community over the coming years.

Guiding Users Towards Action: Empowering Decisions Through Effective Data Design

Design for Context

How do you provide meaningful insights that lead to action? When designing a UI, we need to consider what data to display, how to display it in a way that helps users interpret its meaning, and how best to indicate what can be done based on the data and its meaning. Good design can help users quickly grasp a situation, make better decisions, and take productive actions. We will provide a framework that describes a progressive evolution of data displays and actions, and share a broad range of examples, from consumer products to enterprise web applications, to discuss ways to design effective data displays and integrate actions.

Hello, meet Hola! Design for mixed-language interfaces

Design for Context

A global online user population necessitates the exchange of content from different sources, and the ability to aggregate multilingual content is a critical requirement within many research and business contexts. Mixed-language content provides a rich information set, while adding another layer of complexity and scale, which we can address through thoughtful UX design. To effectively reach a global audience and provide access to content in multiple languages, we must structure mixed-language content to support its successful presentation and delivery, and provide innovative designs that facilitate exploration. In this talk given at the UXPA conference, we discuss real-world examples for: – Presenting content in multiple languages so it co-exists well on the screen and in search – Designing interfaces that support navigating, exploring, and understanding content available in multiple languages – Structuring content to support a flexible, scalable multilingual information management approach Some of the examples in this slideshow are from projects we have worked on, and some are not.

The Delicate Art of Facilitation

Design for Context

Good facilitation skills are essential for many content strategy tasks and projects. Guiding internal colleagues as well as external groups to shared, successful outcomes serves essential project needs, including: team and stakeholder consensus, a clear strategic vision, and the ability to see content in context. An effective facilitator does this by considering and balancing multiple individual perspectives and priorities within over-arching business goals--while also keeping user needs and goals at the forefront. Design for Context’s Duane Degler discusses techniques and approaches to channel the passions and personal goals of each participant, effectively guiding the group towards successful outcomes.

User and Information Design Considerations for Effective Semantic Search

Design for Context

Presented by Duane Degler, Design for Context, at the NFAIS 2019 Annual Conference in Alexandria, VA, on February 14, 2019. Semantic search seeks to enhance the meaning in content, to more closely align the searcher and the available information resources. This means there is a strong user-centered aspect needed to unlock the benefits. What scenarios, needs, experiences, and mental models do our user bring to their search task? How does that inform our modeling of the “meaning” derived from the content? How do we avoid encoding rigidity of meaning by creating learning opportunities for both the users and the underlying search index and algorithms? As we model content, we recognize that its character, structure, and context all matter. Alongside strategies for incorporating taxonomies and indexing the content itself, we will explore how you can prepare a knowledge graph that increases the potential for aligning meaning between your content and your users. On the user experience side, we will introduce design approaches such as supporting iteration for exploratory search, modeling a language landscape, applying user context identification, creating feedback loops based on results selection and use, and using visual signposting for lightweight semantics in the user interface.

Know Thyself, and To Thine Users Be True: Understanding and Managing Biases t...

Design for Context

Presented by Design for Context's Karen Bachmann at the User Experience Professionals Association (UXPA) Conference June 28, 2018, in Puerto Rico. Despite our best intentions, UX practitioners are subject to hidden biases and barriers as any of our fellow humans. It’s more important than ever to understand our own biases to make sure we can be most effective in our communication and our design work. Increasing application of AI and machine learning as well as ever increasing amounts of data on people particularly are areas where hidden and unmitigated biases can create bad and even harmful outcomes. We explore ways to discover and discuss biases constructively before they undermine work, look at case studies of products that suffered from hidden biases, and consider pragmatic approaches to manage their influence in our projects.

Big Data in Small Graphics: Micro-Visualizations in SaaS and Enterprise Appli...

Design for Context

Presented by Design for Context's Lisa Battle and Rachel Sengers at the User Experience Professionals Association (UXPA) Conference June 26, 2018, in Puerto Rico. The power of communicating data visually can’t be overstated. We often need to convey a lot of information at a glance to help expert users make quick decisions and work efficiently. For infrequent or novice users, a visual overview of a process or concept can provide orientation and help reduce the risk of mistakes. For all users, the micro-visualization is a small but powerful way to package detailed information in an easily digestible, visual form. Individually or arranged into arrays, these compact visual elements pack a huge punch, giving your users the ability to quickly assess trends, spot outliers, and identify priorities. This presentation will explore the use of data micro-visualizations to enhance user experience and explain how to utilize pre-attentive processing and gestalt mechanisms to design more effective visualizations.

Going Global: The Intersection of IA and UX in a Multilingual Environment

Design for Context

A global online community necessitates the exchange of content from many sources and across languages. Advances in the semantic web and linked data enable the aggregation of diverse content. Multilingual content provides potential for a richer information set while adding a layer of complexity to our projects. As information architects, we need to structure multilingual content to support its successful presentation and delivery. As user experience designers, we need to provide innovative designs that facilitate exploration of that content. How do different data modeling, linking, and ontology decisions affect the UX design? How can IA and UX support each other? In this talk at IA Summit 2018 in Chicago, IL, USA, we focus on two specific areas: - Structuring multilingual source content and enabling multilingual authors to contribute to a repository - Designing wayfinding that supports navigating, exploring, and understanding content in sites that are sourced from multiple languages Drawing from our experiences in the digital humanities space, we discuss real world examples for: - Data modeling strategies, ontologies, taxonomies and metadata that support a flexible, scalable multilingual information management system - Several multilingual data-driven interfaces and what they reveal about the challenges or opportunities in harmonizing multilingual content - Patterns for displaying and navigating to content that is provided in different languages

No Static: IA for Dynamic Information Environments

Design for Context

Just as building and city architects can’t control every use and evolution of their spaces over time, it is also true that information architects need to anticipate – but not control – the various people who engage with information spaces. This includes regular inhabitants, visitors, and those who never engage directly with the space but have a more distant interaction – suppliers of goods and services, and people who are affected by the decisions and actions of those within the space. Built spaces are not static, they are dynamic. The idea of designing your IA to respond to dynamic conditions is not new, but what does that mean in practice? How do we approach our work and the additional responsibilities that arise in these spaces? We can create ecosystems that accommodate a range of different information sources and uses. We can also support the immediate goals and needs of the current stakeholders, while anticipating the long-term evolution of what we build. We will incorporate terms we know into our process – terms like adaptive, responsive, flexible, emergent, empowering – but with deeper meanings, as they have to guide the use of sophisticated information models and advanced/AI technologies. This talk provides an overview of the dynamic information landscape, positions the role of IA firmly at the heart of its ecosystem design, and provides ideas for weaving this into your practice.

Integrating Taxonomies and Ontologies into Enterprise Search and Browse

Design for Context

Presented by Duane Degler, on February 6, 2018, at the Data Harmony User Group in Albuquerque, NM. Over the course of multiple search projects, we have found ways to increase taxonomy integration into search and browse. For users to get the greatest value out of your taxonomies, the structures need to be woven into the indexing strategies for search and browse. You also can incorporate capabilities into the user interface to help users interact with taxonomy terms in ways that increase usability and relevance. Ultimately, you want to leverage your taxonomies into feedback loops that help you refine both the taxonomy and the content over time. New features in Data Harmony can potentially extend your capabilities even further. This talk will briefly outline approaches for drawing the greatest value from your taxonomies for your users.

Accessibility 101

Design for Context

Presentation by Michael Owens and Lesley Humphreys at the Baltimore UX Meetup, on May 9, 2017. As user experience professionals, we know that the principles of universal design benefit everyone: we should strive to make our information and our applications accessible to all. However, accessibility can seem like an overwhelming topic – where do we start? What are the guidelines? What is the UX designer’s role in the process? In this presentation, we introduce the standards, including the recently published WCAG 2.1 guidelines, look at some assistive technologies, and explore the types of deliverables that can be used to specify accessibility compliant interactions.

Ethics: A Human-Centered Design Goal

Design for Context

Presentation by Karen Bachmann at the UXPA2017 conference in Toronto, Ontario, on June 6, 2017. Ethics is fundamentally about doing the right thing for people, not about complying with laws. Yet incorporating ethics into our design practice can be challenging. Even the discussion can make people uncomfortable. This presentation covers how to talk carrots (value) and not sticks (legality) to make ethics a core human-centered design constraint.

Split Focus: Designing Applications for Multiple Monitor Setups

Design for Context

Presentation by Lisa Battle, Rachel Sengers, and Michael Owens at the UXPA2017 conference in Toronto, Ontario, on June 8, 2017. The next big challenge on the horizon for UX in application design is not about the small screen—it’s about going large. Large monitors keep getting cheaper – and higher resolution – so many users working with SaaS and enterprise applications today have multiple monitors on their desks. It is frustrating for those users when applications do not scale well to a larger size, wasting screen real estate, and not taking advantage of the additional monitors to support side-by-side comparisons and multi-tasking that are common to knowledge workers in many domains. As UX design consultants, we are increasingly seeing opportunities to improve user experience and productivity for business users by utilizing multiple monitors. In this presentation, we discuss new UX design patterns and challenges that arise in software and web-based application design for multiple monitors, illustrating them with real project examples.

Perspectives on Open Source for Museums’ Digital Projects

Design for Context

Presentation by Duane Degler (Design for Context), David Newbury (Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh), and Robert Sanderson (The J. Paul Getty Trust) at the American Alliance of Museums 2017 Annual Meeting & MuseumEXPO in St. Louis, MO, on May 10, 2017. Open-source software has transformed the technology industry, and the movement's goals of community and access align closely with our museums' missions. So why do our open-source projects so often fail to succeed? Three experienced panelists offer three different perspectives and discuss topics such as the role of community and how to foster it, the importance of maintenance and maintainers, Not-Invented-Here, reputation capital, alignment issues with grant-funded projects, business models for open-source projects, and long-term sustainability.

Micro-visualizations: Small Visualizations that Make a Big Impact

Design for Context

Presentation by Rachel Sengers and Lisa Battle at the UXDC2017 conference in Washington, DC, on April 15, 2017. We hear a lot about visualizations for big data these days, but what about small data? The power of communicating data visually can’t be overstated. When designing for expert users, we often need to convey a lot of information at a glance to help them make quick decisions and work efficiently. For infrequent or novice users, a visual overview of a process or concept can provide orientation and help reduce the risk of mistakes. Enter the micro-visualization, a way of packaging detailed information in an easily digestible, visual way. In this presentation, we present examples of several different types of micro-visualizations and discuss how they can be used effectively to improve user experience.

Design for Context

When driving, we use GPS to navigate in real time, with immediate recalculations around obstacles. We know our goal, and technology supports our movement. Yet association technology management is different with multiple departments travelling individual routes with interim destinations in the larger journey. How can we better use roadmaps to plan our technology journeys and keep everyone in sync? Gain insights to help you coordinate organization and technology goals across parallel initiatives and departments. Evaluate roadmap-building techniques, strategies for creating a common vision, tools to align member/user goals with organizational goals, and tactics to course-correct along the journey.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...

Sandy Millin

http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024 Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error. Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials. This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
