Neuroscience Approach To Sales trainingUmar Hameed
A salesperson's mindset is critical to sales success. Sales training tells salespeople what to do but fails to impact a salesperson's mindset.
This is why many salespeople don't change their old behaviors after a sales training. Neuroscience shows us how to turbo change salespeople with a superior mindset.
This is the final presentation I did in Madrid in April 2010. It's about doing.
Basically it contains an argument against distilling rich conversations down into simple, light messages; that you can bring people into the richer story simply by getting them to do one, simple thing.
The Europeana Newspapers Project held a workshop in Amsterdam in September 2013. This presentation from Channa Veldhuijsen of the National Library of the Netherlands explains some principles of usability testing for historic newspapers presented online.
Your data is great, but does it work for your usersvickybuser
How can you be confident that you’re organising and labelling your content in ways that best meet the needs of the people using it? What appears logical in the data may not turn out to reflect the way your users see the world. It’s tempting to make assumptions about your users based on your own experiences, but it’s far better to find out directly from the users themselves. For effective information architecture (IA), user research is crucial for developing knowledge about users’ information seeking behaviours, the trigger words they're looking for, and how they understand the subject domain.
In this session we’ll look at what user research is and the role it plays in figuring out how to structure successful content-rich websites. We’ll take a whistle-stop tour of a toolbox of user research tools and techniques, and how to mix and match the methods to get the best results. For example, during a typical IA project you’d aim to balance the insights gained from search log and usage data analysis with more qualitative techniques such as interviews (to learn about people's information needs), card sorts (to get a sense of how people group and label content) and tree tests (to find out how people look for content). We’ll also briefly cover personas, surveys, contextual inquiry, usability testing, A/B testing, and diary studies. We’ll use examples to show how a better understanding of your users can help you to support them in finding what they need.
You’ll discover why it’s always important to do user research, what methods to use when, and how to avoid some of the potential pitfalls (like recruiting the wrong participants, asking the wrong types of questions, or doing the research in the wrong phase of a project). We’ll also discuss the challenges of finding the time and resources to do the research in the first place, framing it in order to challenge your assumptions, and finally making sure you can deliver value from it in ways that will most benefit your users.

Lightweight and ‘guerrilla’ usability testing for digital humanities projectsMia
For the 2014 Digital Humanities Summer School at the University of Oxford DHOxSS. Usability doesn’t have to be a drag, and user testing doesn’t have to take months and a cast of thousands. Following the principle that ‘any user testing is better than no user testing’, lightweight usability is based on the idea that all you need to run useful tests with real people is a bit of planning and a couple of hours. In this session you will learn how to plan and run a lightweight usability test on paper prototypes or early versions of digital projects and get tips for recruiting and rewarding participants for 'guerrilla usability testing'. At the end of the workshop we will put it into practice by running a live usability test on a site suggested by the audience.
Designing to save lives: Government technical documentation Laurian Vega
In this presentation the speakers will discuss the methods and strategies of writing technical communication in the design of software for the government sector with the broader goal of evaluating best practices for how to create a positive user experience for a particular user group. Creating software for the government, and specifically in defense contracting, involves understanding a specific set of user needs and a variety of command and control net-centric contexts ranging from real-time analytics, cyber-situational awareness, to strategic and operational planning. The best practices for designing and writing for such a diverse set of needs involves tight integration with the software development team, stakeholders, and users such that the right words and elements are incorporated into the interface and that the technical documentation properly reflects the software’s features. The presenters will further discuss examples of content strategy driving from their industry experience and expertise.

Dark web markets: from the silk road to alphabay, trends and developmentsAndres Baravalle
Within the last years, governmental bodies have been futilely trying to fight against dark web hosted marketplaces. Shortly after the closing of “The Silk Road” by the FBI and Europol in 2013, new successors have been established. Through the combination of cryptocurrencies and nonstandard communication protocols and tools, agents can anonymously trade in a marketplace for illegal items without leaving any record.
This talk will presents a research carried out to gain insights on the products and services sold within one of the larger marketplaces for drugs, fake ids and weapons on the Internet, Agora, and on new developments after the demise of Agora.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. Usability heuristics
• The first law of Usability Engineering
(according to Steve Krug) is...
• Don’t Make Me Think
3
4. #1: Users don’t read web pages
• Users don’t read web pages – they just
scan
4
5. #2: Don’t make optimal choices
• Optimal choices are in most cases a waste
of resources
• Typically is not needed to commit the
resources needed to have an optimal
interface rather than a good interface
– People don’t look for perfect plans – they look
for good enough plans
– Are you really going to look for a second price
when you find a book in Amazon at £ 3?
5
6. #3: Users have no understanding of how
things work
• Nor they should need to, in many cases
– Knowing the TCP/IP stack is not going to help
you to send an email
– RTFM is not a good suggestion (typically)
• Don’t design interfaces that require
learning from users – most probably users
are NOT going to learn how to use your
interface
6
7. The trunk test
• Imagine you are blindfolded in the trunk of
a car
• Driven around
• Dumped somewhere
– Once you are out, you need to assess your
situation
7
8. The trunk test (2)
• A usable web site will allow you to “survive” a
trunk test
• On a usable web page you’ll be always able to
answer these questions:
– What site is this
– What page I’m on
– What are the main sections
– What are my options
– Where I am
– How can I search
8
9. The trunk test (3)
• You can use this approach by printing a
set of pages and asking users to circle
some or all of those areas
• You can compare user’s performance on
different web pages to have an indicator of
their usability
9
10. Designing home pages
• A typical home page will include:
– Site identity and mission
– Site hierarchy
– Site search
– Teases (e.g. Featured content)
– Timely content
– Deals (including ads)
– Shortcuts to content
– Registration
• A home page should always pass the “trunk
test”!
10
11. Usability evaluation methods
• Usability inquiry: focus on talking to and/or
observing users
• Usability inspection: focus on expert
analysis
• Usability testing: focus on testing
interfaces with users
11
19. Final year supervision
• This is for September 2015
• I’m happy to consider supervising (in
2014-2015) students in the following
areas:
– Web APPLICATIONS development
– Open Source technologies
– Usability, accessibility and HCI
19
20. Remember!
• It’s your research/dissertation – you have
to pick something that you enjoy
– I’m open to supervise thesis in my areas of
interest
– I’m not interested in supervising thesis that
are not interesting for me too
20
21. Supervision meetings
• I hold all my supervision meetings on one
day
– It is not negotiable
– I will hold supervisions in small groups (3 to 6
persons)
• The supervision slots will not clash with
any of your classes
• If you are not free on that day I cannot
supervise you
21
22. Where to find more
• A selection of available dissertation topics
is available here:

23. FAQs
• Where are my 5 web sites?
• Can you review my coursework tomorrow?
• All my sites are perfect!
• What method should I use?
