Together with Heleen van Nues, my Interaction Designer colleague at Mirabeau, we gave this workshop during UXcampNL 2016 in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. We discussed the pros & cons of wireframes, and the advantages & procedure of an alternative to wireframes that we often use at Mirabeau: priority guides.
The design part of interaction design Michael Dain
From a recent lecture, here are the basics of what design means to the User Experience. This is hardly exhaustive, but a good primer on some of the essential elements. Some buzzwords include: Skeumorphism, Flat, Gestalt, Typography – all the tools an interface designer needs to connect emotionally to an audience.
Mapping Customer Experience for the Future of DesignLennart Overkamp
"In the future, there will be no user experience design. There will only be design."
As part of an symposium centred around the future of UX design, I presented my vision on the future of design, and the relevance of tools such as Experience Maps in the ever developing world of technology.
Designers of the future will have to embrace either Design Generalism, or Innovation-driven Design.
Introduction to Usability Testing for Digital MarketeersLennart Overkamp
These slides provide an introduction to usability testing for digital marketeers. This well-known method in user-centred design is used to improve products, by having participants interact with these products and by measuring their performances and responses.
I presented this topic as a guest lecturer to students attending the Minor Digital Marketing at the Fontys ICT Eindhoven at April 5th, 2017. Providing examples and best practices from Dutch digital design agency Mirabeau, I explained to them the required steps for the preparation, the moderation, and the analysis of usability tests.

Slides I prepared for a training session with Political Economy students in 2005.
Quick facts:
- This was the first presentation I made using Keynote 2 (yes, the irony of using Keynote to teach people to use Powerpoint is not lost on me).
- The actual presentation used plenty of animations (cube in/cube out effects, etc.). This was when I was fond of using complex animations to "wow" the audience. Now, I prefer simple animations, sometimes even just slide transitions.
- This was the first presentation I made incorporating live hyperlinks from slide to slide.
- The idea for the layout was borrowed from the demo presentation accompanying iWork. I would use the navigation bar template as my "default" template in future presentations.

Charting the Employee Journey of KLM Component ServicesLennart Overkamp
KLM Engineering & Maintenance (E&M) Component Services (CS) provides repair, logistics and warehousing of aircraft components for airlines worldwide. As part of a business process redesign (CS2.0), KLM CS asked Mirabeau to envision new digital solutions and a new way of working for their employees as a starting point for development.
Continuously involving KLM employees and business stakeholders, we co-created a self-explanatory presentation of how the employees interact with new digital solutions in a future work day. The result, an Employee Journey, includes digital solutions that directly add value to employees: one IT system as single source, one unique identifier for each component, context- and role-specific user interfaces, and data-driven forecasts.
In this presentation, find the steps that we went through as a team, and my personal lessons learned during the project.

"A scenario is a description of a person’s interaction with a system.
Scenarios help focus design efforts on the user’s requirements, which are distinct from technical or business requirements.
Scenarios may be related to ‘use cases’, which describe interactions at a technical level. Unlike use cases, however, scenarios can be understood by people who do not have any technical background. They are therefore suitable for use during participatory design activities." http://infodesign.com.au/usabilityresources/scenarios/

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.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

3. Screencasts capture all or a portion of a computer
screen while the author narrates what the viewer is
seeing in a voice-over audio.
Screencasts are used by businesses and
organizations for a wide variety of purposes and
viewed by both internal and external audiences.
About Screencasts
3
4. You need a microphone, and the one in your
computer will be find for this project.
I recommend using Screencast-O-Matic. But
you will find a link to alternatives under Tools
and Resources.
Position the screen capture feature over your
file and leave some room so you can scroll as
you talk.
It takes some time to get used to using the
mouse, scrolling down, etc. as you talk, so it’s
a good idea to practice several times before
recording.
Your screencast should be 3 minutes or less
but going a bit over is fine.
How to create your screencast.
4
5. The subject of your screencast will be justifying the design choices
you made when creating the PSA poster or billboard.
The audience will be the Associated Students of the University of
Idaho (ASUI).
Your purpose will be to clearly connect your design choices to
principles of graphic design.
Subject, audience, and purpose of your screencast.
5
6. You are practicing how to articulate design
choices using the language of graphic
design.
Even should you never create another PSA
poster or billboard, you will have gained
practice in being able to communicate in
professional environments where visual
design needs are being discussed/planned.
Why you have been given this context.
6
7. Your screencast is justifying design
choices to ASUI who is expecting to
receive this information.
ASUI would know the topic and target
audience, so you only need a very brief
introduction such as:
• Here is my justification for the design
choices I made when creating the PSA
for your target audience.
What the client would not know are the
principles of visual design.
Writing the Script: Introduction
7
8. Body: Design Justification. The design justification
should include the following information:
• The rhetorical situation: why is this an important
message to send to the audience (remember, the
audience is the U of I community)?
• The message you wanted to send: after the
audience sees the PSA, what awareness do you
want them to have, and what action do you want
them to take?
• The frame you decided to use: did you use a
positive, negative, or neutral frame and why did
you make that decision?
• The graphic design principles you used: discuss
at least three graphic design principles you
learned about in the course materials on
BbLearn, and how did using these graphic
design principles make your PSA successful?
(That is, how did the graphic design principles
you used help you to create a message that will
make the audience aware of the issue and take
the action you want them to take?)
Writing the Script: Body

9. The principle of proximity means
grouping related elements together, so
the viewer perceives them as one
visual unit.
I applied proximity in this section of my
PSA poster where these icons are
aligned as a group.
As you speak move your mouse to show
viewers what you are referring to in your
PSA.
Example
9
10. I used red because I really like red. As
you can see, how I used red here
really pops out and makes the viewer
pay attention.
Don’t say silly statements not connected to a
graphic design principle.

11. what PSAs are or how they differ from
advertising,
what tool(s) you used to create yours,
why you chose a specific size,
or anything else that is not related to
your rhetorical and design choices.
Don’t waste your client’s time by talking about
11
12. The conclusion should be brief as in the
following example:
• Let me know if you have any questions
about my design choices.
Writing the Script: Conclusion
12
13. Once you have a script, open your file
and launch the screen capture tool to
do a test recording.
Choose a standard size and position
the tool over your file.
Check that your computer’s wallpaper
is not interfering with the screencast.
Play your test recording back to be
certain the size you have chosen is
clear enough. You may need to do a
few tests of the standard screen
capture sizes to find the one that’s best.
