Content-first UX Design: What video games teach us about UXSteph Hay
Great UX design influences one video game becoming a cultural icon while another lands in the $5 bin at GameStop. So what cues can we take from these popular games—and from this technology-driven industry that so closely parallels our own?
Steph is going to teach us about two: Content-first UX Design and Contextual Learning.
See popular video games whose character stories form the backbone of design, and whose flow teaches players to use the game while they’re playing it.
Then hear how Steph translated these two concepts to her work with Ben & Jerry’s, the Annie E. Casey Foundation, and FastCustomer.com—which resulted in fewer design iterations, more cohesive content, and higher levels of user engagement.
Not so long ago I was redesigning one website (due to corporate rules I'm not allowed to say client's name).
Before we start building architecture and writing copy I decided to run a workshop for the whole team (for those, who have never taken part in the web projects) and explain briefly main UX principles and give some tips on
effective web copy.
Opening keynote presentation from the UX Indonesia 2014 conference.
In this talk I take a 50-foot view of the phrase “User Experience” and dissect what it really means to be user-centred. We then examine some of the techniques, philosophies and skills used by the best designers, and explore how you can apply them to our own designs—and to your career.
Improving WordPress Themes & Plugins Support DocumentationGloria Antonelli
Solid user support documentation of WordPress themes and plugins is key for Users Experience. Many WordPress theme and plugin developers have frustrated users. Users are digging through websites, forums and surfing the web for answers on how to setup, use or modify WordPress products.
Learn how to create an effective learning channel incorporating Information Architecture and User Experience techniques. Develop a blue print to organize your step by step guides, video tutorials, troubleshooting tips, FAQ, and forums for easy findability for both novices and pros. Points to address include reducing your user’s pain points and learning curve, the value of UI consistency, alternative concept map of information and a developer’s documentation check list before release.

Design Before Code - Global Accessibility Awareness Day EditionCaitlin Geier
Accessibility is a difficult challenge at the best of times. The best way to include accessibility in a website or app is to start with design. This talk goes over five tips for designers (and for the people who work with them) to get started in incorporating accessibility into their work.
Microsoft PowerPoint has always been a mainstay of how to present, whether in the boardroom, or in the classroom, but “Prezi”, a newer software presentation program, offers a newer more engaging style of presenting that some have not yet experienced and may be of value to your presentation. But is newer always better? Here we will show you some pros and cons to both techniques and discuss them so that you may find the presentation style that caters to your own needs and efforts.
In your organization, you frequently need to train others on how things are done. Whether it's for customers or new employees, there is information you know that they will benefit from.
Almost every organization offers some form of training or classes or seminars to employees (and sometimes to customers) but very few are succeeding in getting those “students” to learn. In this workshop, we will explore the use of technology and E-Learning environments to improve the actual knowledge transfer in your organization.
Much of today's learning can take place on-line in organized, downloadable segments and we'll show you the best way to create and deliver your important content using technology. We'll also discuss on-demand reference systems and the types of information that is best made available from a webpage or smartphone instead of asking people to memorize it. No more wasting time with on-the-job training or day-long classes that are not effective.
Here are some of the topics that will be covered:
• How to design courses so that learning really takes place
• What kinds of knowledge or information is best taught and what is best made available from a Wiki or other reference system?
• Tools for “recording” PowerPoint presentations (and other applications) so that others can learn on their own time
• The use of new media (video and audio) in your e-learning courseware
• Learning Management Systems and keeping track of learner’s progress
An Introduction to desktop or cloud-based application that allows the user to present information to an audience using a sequence of multimedia formats
Looking to develop a digital portfolio? This presentation will provide you with some guidelines on how to put together your portfolio from scratch - from organizing your content to building to site with Weebly, Wix, or Wordpress.
