Sure, you could do a lot of guesswork at the beginning of a website design project. Let’s build a template and throw in some placeholders, and see what becomes of it! Only to discover when the text and media come rolling in from your content creators that half the template needs to be rebuilt, and the menu structure you had in mind was way off-base.
This happens a lot, costing everyone involved valuable time and energy — especially you. Learn how to put content first in the sequence of design steps.
This talk will cover:
- Defining your audience and goals
- How to convince your client to provide content in a timely fashion
- Understanding, organizing, and prioritizing content
- Brainstorming ideas for optimal site and page structure
How to Effectively Lead Focus Groups: Presented at Product School NYC Tremis Skeete
As seen on: https://www.meetup.com/productmanagementNY/events/247800115/
Talking to users can be challenging or intimidating, and running a focus group is one of those tasks which most Product Managers would say is essential in getting real user insights. Traditionally, UX designers and Product Managers have relied on a combination of quantitative data and qualitative insights from focus groups and interviews.
Whether you want to test your user group's response to a new product or changes to modules or features within an existing product, as a product person you need to have a creative set of analytical skills and strategies for how to steer the group toward productive discussions. Let's get together to discuss how focus groups can truly work well for you, and how you can organize, coordinate, and effectively lead focus group sessions.
Main takeaways:
- The do's and don'ts when leading focus groups
- What it takes to guide a productive conversation and avoid groupthink
- How to connect with participants in order to generate informative responses
- Ways to articulate your focus group strategies
- Methods for asking questions and capturing insights

Collaborative Information Architecture (ias17)Abby Covert
You’ve worked hard on the information architecture models you’ve created but haven’t been able to sell them to the client, or your co-workers. Maybe the conversation around the IA has broken down into an unhealthy debate over semantics. In another scenario, you are tasked with creating a controlled vocabulary for a large organization that has a silo mentality and a lot of legacy content. Where to begin?
These scenarios will sound familiar to most IA professionals.
In this workshop, Abby will share her techniques for getting an organization that may have different ideas about how to organize and name content to agree upon a controlled vocabulary.
Abby will share specific tools in the form of diagrams, beyond the ubiquitous sitemap and wireframe, which communicate complex ideas. And she’ll share techniques for practicing information architecture with clients collaboratively.
I want to focus on the soft skills that make someone good at IA. So the lessons here are really about leveling up in skill set. Including:
- Conflict Resolution in IA
- Selling IA to others in your organization
- Improving stakeholder interviews
- Facilitating Low Fidelity Conversation about language
- Visualizing language with simple pictures to get clarity
Guidelines regarding looking for a job, making an online profile, building rapport with co-workers, and with students, writing formal and informal letters regarding recent job positions, describing a position and its responsibilities. Why and how to create a social media page and how to get ready for a job-fair evant.

Francesca Gottschalk - How can education support child empowerment.pptxEduSkills OECD
Francesca Gottschalk from the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Rhetoric
•Rhetoric is who, what, when,
where, why, and how.
•I used rhetoric in for the fast fix
project by asking myself who has
ever shrunk a t-shirt? And who
would benefit from this guide?
•I asked myself how a shirt gets
shrunk so that I could give proper
instructions on how to unshrink it.
4. 4
Writing
•Writing was a big part of all of
our projects. For the first project
I learned how to fix writing
mistakes with mark up mishaps
and grammar.
•I learned how to write an
introduction that would tell the
readers exactly what they would
be learning.
•I learned how to write a proper
proposal for our fast fix project.
5. 5
Design
•Used the iFixit website and
their design guidelines to
make sure the steps in the
guide were clear.
•Used different symbols or
different color bullets to
show caution or a reminder.
•I have improved my skills
using PowerPoint and
designing the slides.
This shows a caution that we
used stating not to use hot or
cold water.
6. 6
Collaboration Ethics
•I learned how important ethics is in
technical writing.
•I showed proof of why our fast fix project
would be a good project to do.
•I cited everything that was not my own
work.
7. 7
Cultural Considerations
•I made sure that anyone that
read the work I did would be
able to clearly understand it.
•I Made sure to use appropriate
language that would not offend
anyone reading my work.
