We’ve all had discussions about the great ‘UX’ of a product, or the poor ‘UI’ of a website. Is it a secret language you will never be lucky to know more about it?
Actually, it is very simple, For example: While User Experience is a bunch of tasks focused on optimization of a product for effective and enjoyable use; User Interface Design is its complement, the look and spirit, the presentation and interactivity of a product.

An overview about what UX design is, for a mixture of tech, support and business people (tough mix!).
There are two main points I wanted to get across: 1. UX design is not just about usabllity (and Jakob Nielsen) 2. UX design is a rigorous process (not magic and guesswork).
If you have any feedback about how to make this presentation better, I'd be happy to hear it.

Nebraska Trainer's Institute eLearning Presentaiotneaselsolutions
This presentation covered a few eLearning development tools as well as some mLearning Strategies. It was delivered during a ASTD Nebraska 2012 Trainer's Institute session.
User experience is vital, and the word "design" seems to be a buzz word and a magical pill to elevate products or services - all thanks to global success and publicity of Apple. Organisations in Asia will benefit by grasping the essence of user experience and design research. Lean UX evolved from well-understood UX practices, to conduct UX in a much leaner and cost effective way. As the saying goes" Some UX is better than no UX"!
Raven will share fundamental concepts and "quick-and-dirty" tips that enable improvement on user experience of products or services in a cost effective manner with case studies.
UX is not a bolt-on but many agencies and founders approach it as the icing on the cake where really it is the cake itself. If you are in the process of planning, creating or improving your MVP this presentation will help you understand what UX is and how to go about making it happen for your product. The presentation will also help you understand how the UX process should happen correctly in your organisation and advises on different heuristics and models that can aid your team to ensure your product is produced correctly. The keynote was presented to the Founders Nation boot-camp by Danny Bluestone from Cyber-Duck at The Wayra Academy,Capper Street, WC1E 6JA London during March 2014.
The Administrators Guide to Accessibility: Compliance and BeyondKeana Lynch
The answer to the ultimate question of development, the web, and everything is......accessibility.
Most of us understand that web accessibility is about fully supporting people with disabilities. However, it is really an inherent part of creating a better user experience for everyone. While WCAG and 508 standards focus on the technical requirements, human interaction and user analysis are often lost during the design strategy. This may sound overwhelming, but don’t panic! Whether you're a designer, developer, or project manager, this discussion highlights 10 best practices in accessibility, user experience, and inclusive design to extend your knowledge beyond the minimum compliance requirements.
There are key things that will give you a much better chance at success. While these are well documented in numerous books, articles, and videos - there are still many stakeholders that don't subscribe to some basic truths, like: product decisions should be based on evidence, or having dedicated UX Designers on product teams.
Jeremy will go over his top ten questions to ask any team to see if they're heading toward launching a great product experience.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

29. Five Quality Components of Web Usability
§ Learnability
Is the design easy to understand and to use at first sight?
§ Efficiency
How quickly can users accomplish their tasks?
§ Memorability
When users return to the design after some time, how easily can
they recall the design to their mind?
§ Troubleshooting
How many errors do users make and how easily can they recover
from these errors?
§ Satisfaction
How pleasant is it to use the design?
