Site analytics. The quantified self. Big data. Human activity is creating more and more measurable data. But is more data really helping designers make better decisions? Human problems often require illogical approaches. In order to meet real human needs, we need to approach the data we collect with empathy and find the story in the facts.

Critical pedagogy: education in the practice of freedomAlan Carbery
Slides from a talk at the Vermont Library Association College & Special Libraries Conference, October 2015. Abstract: Our presentation focuses on the use of primary sources in library instruction to inspire students to think around issues of injustice and oppression. Following remarks on our chapter-in-progress for a book on Critical Library Instruction, the session will be devoted to introducing/discussing Critical Pedagogy and its influence on library instruction. Because Critical Pedagogy is dependent upon decentering the lecturer in favor of a participatory and community-driven style of learning, we hope this session can act as a forum for our colleagues to share ways in which they’ve incorporated facets of Critical Pedagogy into their instructional practice, ask questions about Critical Library Instruction, and offer any critiques they have of Critical Pedagogy/Critical Library Instruction. Delivered with Sean Leahy, Instruction & Learning Assessment Librarian, Champlain College.
Your website's users want to get stuff done, and you probably aren't making it easy for them. When users encounter forms with unnecessary steps, content that requires too many clicks to access, or things that just don't make sense, they often give up. In this talk, you’ll see some practical examples of sites that do a good job of making interactions and content easy to follow and understand, and you'll learn how to help your users get to where they want to be without annoying them on the way there.
Presented in 2016 at ConFoo.

Breaking the rules is easy. Doing the deed in a strategic manner is another thing entirely. However, a little bit of skill is all a designer needs to make a design really stand out without stepping on the toes of conventional digital wisdom.
Which rules do you break without compromising your aesthetic hutzpah? Do you want to learn how? This slide deck reveals all.
Designing with Empathy [Code & Creativity 2014]Aaron Gustafson
Every decision we make affects the way real people experience our products.
We've all heard the rallying cry for user-centered design, but even those of us who ascribe to that ideal often fall back on our own biases and instincts when it comes to making decisions about how people experience our content and our services.
Sadly, this often means we make decisions we think will be good for our “users” - that anonymous, faceless crowd - rather than actually trying to understand the perspectives, surroundings, capabilities, and disadvantages of the actual people who we are here to serve.
In this session, Aaron will explore why empathy is a good thing, how empathy empowers creativity, and how we, as a community, can inject more empathy into our work.
Whether you are writing an email, drafting an office memo or just chatting with your coworkers, using words incorrectly can make you look bad.
Here’s some help.
The 50 Most Influential Education Brands on LinkedInLinkedIn
Education sector marketers have flocked to LinkedIn to reach the professional networking
platform’s audience of professionals, who are keen to boost their careers and earning power
with further education. In particular, education brands are leveraging LinkedIn for content
marketing. Below are the top 50 global education brands based on their LinkedIn Content
Marketing Scores, which are calculated by measuring the ratio between the total target
audience and the unique users that engaged with the content.
Norman suggests that when using a product, our emotional state affects the utility we derive and our experience. People in positive emotional states are prone to be more creative since their thinking is more expansive and helps them in finding alternatives to the problem at hand.
A negative or stressful emotional state constricts perception and narrows down our focus to quickly find a resolution–that’s how nature has programmed us to deal with threats.
Here is a breakdown of the three levels of design and how they translate to good design:

3 hard facts shaping higher education thinking and behaviorGrant Thornton LLP
Expansion in tuition, enrollment, faculty, buildings, and everything else ― is fast becoming a thing of the past. Institutions will have to carefully pick initiatives, making clear choices about what to do and, most significantly, what not to do. Download 2016 State of higher education >> http://gt-us.co/1UbUF56
What does the future look like? Is it a dark space where we’re suffering from varying degrees of techamphetamine or are we heading towards a Utopian fantasy of abundance and harmony?
Understanding that our basic human needs and wants barely change, we explore the future state of a range of topics; from our need for physical sustenance through to our age-long fascination of transcending the limitations of our biology.
Looking at the future from a human perspective, our potential for greatness is teetering on a fine line between darkness and hope. We’re banking on the latter.

2. На сайте http://mirbisera.com/master-klass
/9947-tetrajedr.html
размещен мастер-класс, в котором
используя бисер на основе модели
усеченного тетраэдра (у него 4
шестиугольные грани и 4 треугольные)
показано плетение элемента украшения.
Усеченный тетраэдр содержит:
4 треугольника
4 шестиугольника.
3. Polyhedron Habitable – оригинальное
архитектурное решение для
расслабленного отдыха в саду, в
окружении цветов и деревьев, по
проекту колумбийского архитектора
Мануэля Вилла. Садовый домик
выполнен на основе усеченного
кубооктаэдра.
Ромбоусечённый кубооктаэдр содержит:
12 квадратов
8 шестиугольников
6 восьмиугольников.
4. Деревянная беседка на основе
ромбокубооктаэдра.
Дизайн бусин из натуральных или
искусственных материалов художники часто
усложняют, придавая им необычные формы.
Бусина на переднем плане (слева) напоминает
ромбокубооктаэдр.
Ромбокубооктаэдр содержит:
8 треугольников
18 квадратов
5. Музей архитектуры Тойо Ито на острове
Омишима (Япония) в основе дизайна музея
лежат геометрические фигуры: октаэдр,
тетраэдр и кубооктаэдр.
Деревянная бусина так же в форме
кубооктаэдра.
Кубооктаэдр содержит:
8 треугольников
6 квадратов
7. На сайте http://illc.ru/i-osveshhenie-i-ukrashenie
/
Размещена реклама изделий тайваньской
компании QisDESIGN - универсальные
светодиодные светильники.
Каждая отдельная деталь светильника – один
усеченный октаэдр.
Усеченный октаэдр содержит:
6 квадратов
8 шестиугольников
8. Кресло Hedronic. Разработано немецким
архитектором и преподавателем Баухауса,
Даниелем Дендрой. Математически логичное
кресло стало одним из экспонатов Музея
современной архитектуры. Форма кресла
взята как производная от плосконосого куба.
Плосконосый куб (курносый куб) содержит:
32 треугольника
6 квадратов
Всемирно известный художник и дизайнер
из Дании Олафур Элиассон создал новую
световую инсталляцию Your Sound
Galaxy. Работа состоит из 27
многогранников, один из которых (обведен
красным цветом) – курносый куб.
9. Декоративный светильник «Рождественская
звезда». Он и многочисленные елочные
украшения той же формы – большие
звездчатые додекаэдры.
Большой звездчатый додекаэдр получается
при продолжении граней додекаэдра. При
этом каждая грань заменяется на правильный
звездчатый пятиугольник.
10. В производстве футбольных мячей очень
много тонкостей. Каждый современный
футбольный мяч – целое произведение
искусства. И хоть в целом форма мяча – шар,
но достигается это сшивкой отдельных
деталей. Разные фирмы разрабатывают свои
мячи. На рисунке представлен футбольный
мяч на основе ромбоикосододекаэдра.
Ромбоикосододекаэдр содержит:
20 треугольников
30 квадратов
12 пятиугольников
11. Чаще всего современный футбольный мяч
состоит из 12 пятиугольников 12 и 20
шестиугольников.
Эту же форму имеет молекула фуллерена C60,
в которой 60 атомов углерода соответствуют
60-ти вершинам усечённого икосаэдра.
Усеченный икосаэдр содержит:
12 пятиугольников
20 шестиугольников
12. Сейчас многие умельцы делают бижутерию
самостоятельно. Фотография сережек с сайта
http://nanoworld88.narod.ru/data/353.htm
демонстрирует одну из возможных
простейших огранок изделия.
Она называется – усеченный куб и содержит:
8 треугольников
6 восьмиугольников
13. Шар – безделушка, собранный из трех типов
бусин, имеет для кого-то магический смысл, а
для математика это объект, в основе которого
ромбоусечённый икосододекаэдр со 120
вершинами и 180 рёбрами.
Все составляющие безделушкц фигуры:
30 квадратов
20 шестиугольников
12 десятиугольников
«обрисованы» бусинами.
На второй фотографии – еще один арт-объект,
характеризующий мастерство токаря,
выточившего ромбоусеченный
икосододекаэдр из единой металлической
заготовки. Фигура отличается от
полуправильного многогранника
скругленностью форм.
14. Кроме «архимедовых тел» к полуправильным
многогранникам относятся так называемые
антипризмы с равными ребрами.
Конфеты с фотографии выполнены как раз по
мотивам четырехугольной антипризмы.
Форма антипризмы часто используется для
изготовления цирковой тумбы для
выступлений слонов.
15. Так же кроме «архимедовых тел» к
полуправильным многогранникам относятся
все правильные n-угольные призмы, все ребра
которых равны.
Изящная дамская коробочка – шкатулка
изготовлена на основе правильной
шестигранной призмы.
16. Одеяло со звездчатыми многогранниками –
украшение интерьера.
Звездчатые многогранники часто
используются мастерицами в технике пэчворк.
На другой фотографии - звездчатый
многогранник, выполненный из мрамора для
венецианского собора Святого Марка,
предположительно созданный флорентийским
художником Паоло Уччелло (1397—1475) .
17. Флористы повинуясь законам математики,
правилу золотого сечения, создают
гармоничные букеты на основе
полуправильных многогранников. На
приведенной фотографии букет состоит из
элементов двух типов: соприкасающихся
крупных роз и заполняющих просветы мелких
цветов.
В такой форме букета угадывается усечённый
додекаэдр, состоящий из
20 треугольников
12 десятиугольников
18. На фотографии представлен ластик в форме
звездчатого ромбододекаэдра.
Ластик одновременно является и
головоломкой, которая легко разбирается на 6
одинаковых частей.
Но вот, чтобы собрать фигурку, надо
потрудиться.
19. Всемирно известный художник и дизайнер из Дании
Олафур Элиассон, выставка которого проходит сейчас в
Tate Modern, создал новую световую инсталляцию Your
Sound Galaxy. Работа состоит из 27 многогранников,
свисающих с потолка в виде двух концентрических
кругов. Каждая объемная фигура снабжена светодиодом,
который освещает пространство сквозь стыки
составляющих частей многогранника.
