Jensen Harris: Beyond Menus and Toolbars in Microsoft OfficeSteve Williams
BayCHI December, 2005, Program: Long before the launch of the new Office product, the BayCHI community was eager to understand the new "Ribbon" user interface (UI). Members convinced BayCHI program chair Rashmi Singha to bring in Jensen Harris, the lead UI designer for the Office UI suite. It is atypical of Microsoft's culture to allow someone to discuss a product before launch. But, alongside the serious risk of completely redoing a core product, and giving all the design control to a team of user experience designers, Microsoft is opening the black box and explaining it to the public far before launch.

Spicing Up Your Vanilla With a Custom Look and Feeljpberetz
Create a custom user experience for a PeopleSoft application? It\'s not as crazy as it sounds. Despite the warnings of veering too far from “vanilla,” there are situations in which spicing up your PeopleSoft application with a custom front-end is exactly the right business decision. You\'ll learn which technical options are available – right in PeopleTools – for giving your application a big-impact makeover while minimizing impact on future upgrades. We\'ll also discuss tips for determining if a new look and feel is a wise investment for your organization, one that will result in both significant savings and happy, loyal users.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.
