From NetSquared Vancouver's September 16 meetup.
Are you avoiding the blank page of writing an article, with no idea what to write, and a hundred other things you end up doing instead?
Do you scroll social media for your organization, wishing you had something better to post today?
Creating content doesn’t have to be a headache, it can be fun and easy if we change our mindset and adapt the hacks outlined in this webinar.
This isn’t just the world of content, it’s the world of relationships, audience building, and stewardship online to drive future donations.
But content takes time, so it gets left behind! Sadly though, without YOU creating content, you’re leaving your donors to see nothing but posts about the WE Charity scandal and the latest Kardashian drama!
So if the answer to online presence is more content, the next question is how the heck do you do it?? Nonprofits are so busy. This event will show you HOW to create way more content and reduce the time you spend creating.
With more content you have the chance to connect, learn, improve, and do it all over again.
PS. This video is for everyone in your organization, not just the marketing manager. We can all get involved in content!

Breaking Down Barriers (to enterprise social) in the Land of DinosaursSusan Hanley
You’ve heard the messages: the future of collaboration is all about enterprise social networks. It’s a future where you’d like to be, of course, but what if you work in a land of stodgy dinosaurs? Your dinosaurs might not find it so easy to let go of past paradigms and make the leap of faith to try something new and different. This presentation showcases several powerful social collaboration success stories from which you can draw insights and presents some proven approaches to break down the barriers that you might encounter.

This will include conducting a baseline assessment, increasing awareness across people / teams / departments, new kinds of organizational design and structures, using mission / purpose as a focusing tool, effective decision-making processes, ways to work in more agile ways through prototyping and piloting, and ways to evaluate progress and continually improve.

UXPA2019 Forging Alliances with Project Management: A PM’s View of UXUXPA International
It is critical for Design and Project Management to be true collaborators in getting things done. This session aims to help UX practitioners advance their careers and be more successful in collaborating with individuals with different motivations and mindsets, and who often speak a different language. The session shares insights on Project Management and offers ways that the UX profession can help business understand the strategic value of Design within the enterprise.
The majority of the world’s enterprises still operate projects in a “traditional” sense. Project Managers are eager to learn more about Design (e.g. managing innovation), but frequently harbor trepidation or misunderstanding of UX and are unsure how to incorporate Design on their projects.
Join this session to learn how the strategic partnership between Design and Project Management can evangelize UX as a force for change and innovation and help PMs operate in a more flexible, discovery-driven world.

Launching Performance Support: It's the Message That MattersChristopher King
If your boss asks you to develop a performance support solution, do you know here to begin? There are varying definitions and degrees of understanding of what "performance support" means in practice. There are critical first steps to take when designing a solution that fits the needs and culture of your organization. Success is a balance of proper planning and figuring out how to address "what's in it for me?" for your stakeholders. This session explores cases of integrating performance support into learning strategy, with examples of how the speakers are adapting their training design processes. The goal is to make the five moments of learning need the focus instead of an afterthought. Using a case study detailing the launch of an initial performance support effort for a Federal agency, the speakers will examine valuable lessons for anyone launching their first performance support solution. They'll also study lessons from other first-time performance support efforts that reinforce the importance of a client champion, and the consequences of not clearly explaining what you're doing and why. This session will introduce basic skills and approaches that anyone can use to get started with a performance support project.

An Introduction to User Experience for Dev's & TechiesScott Savage
Presented by Scott A. Savage (www.scottAsavage.com) for Web Content Mavens at General Assembly in Washington, DC on March 18, 2015.
This presentation provides an overview of how developers and non-user experience people can integrate good user experience ideas and methodologies into their professional processes and work.
An intro to what people (and myself) think UX is. Also who is "doing" UX and how you can do it better. Originally presented at Product Camp Nashville - Sep 2018
Slides from a workshop at The Net Value, Cagliari 03/2016
Your product is perfect and users are stupid. You are developing for a long time, following the perfect idea, your assumptions, you are not wrong… or not?
In this workshop you will understand the foundation of user experience. What UX is, why it is important and how you can start adopting it in your processes.
This lecture is an introduction to Human-Computer Interaction and Usability. The lecture was given as a part of the “Accessible Web Design” summer course in Łódź in 2007 organized by BEST (Board of European Students of Technology).
UXD - A quick overview on what you need to work with your UX team Guilherme Rodrigues
The UXD team came up with a presentation, covering some of the point we have in our day to day work. Information architects, designers and front-end participated to build up this doc in order to practice and be more familiar with UCD process, agile project management, UX research and so on.
Have a look on the presentation and help us to build it up.
UI UX design and product design is a course that leads you to a good career. To be a good UI UX designer, a person needs to be creative and a good design thinker. UI UX design is a non code design career where you just need to do research and design a good perfect one.
You can even choose this as your career guide and project topic for computer science students.
Advocating for your users is key to project success. Kirsten Burgard and I show how, even developers can accomplish this via our process and case studies.
TechSoup Connect Western Canada: Data To Action: Making Your Data Visible and...NetSquared Vancouver
Hosted by TechSoup Connect Western Canada on July 20, 2022.
https://events.techsoup.org/e/m85bvc/
Almost every organization has two superpowers. The first is the data that they have packed away in databases and spreadsheets, often collecting virtual dust on their servers. The second is the visual faculties of their donors, clients, board members and staff members. While most of us glaze over at the sight of a spreadsheet, humans are wired to process visual information at lightning speed. By visualizing our data, we make it more accessible and usable.
You will leave this webinar with a clear understanding of:
The two superpowers organizations have and how to wield them more often and more effectively;
How you can use data visualization (aka data viz) to address key problems you face showing and evaluating your impact;
The types of visualizations that work best for different purposes; and
How to turn a good viz into a great one.

Up the Ratios Bylaws - a Comprehensive Process of Our Organizationuptheratios
Up the Ratios is a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap in STEM education for underprivileged students by providing free, high-quality learning opportunities in robotics and other STEM fields. Our mission is to empower the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and problem-solvers by offering a range of educational programs that foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
At Up the Ratios, we believe that every student, regardless of their socio-economic background, should have access to the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today's technology-driven world. To achieve this, we host a variety of free classes, workshops, summer camps, and live lectures tailored to students from underserved communities. Our programs are designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing students to explore the exciting world of robotics and STEM through practical, real-world applications.
Our free classes cover fundamental concepts in robotics, coding, and engineering, providing students with a strong foundation in these critical areas. Through our interactive workshops, students can dive deeper into specific topics, working on projects that challenge them to apply what they've learned and think creatively. Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators.
Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students. These lectures provide valuable insights into potential career paths and inspire students to pursue their passions in STEM.
Up the Ratios relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our work. Contributions of time, expertise, and financial support are crucial to sustaining our programs and expanding our reach. Whether you're an individual passionate about education, a professional in the STEM field, or a company looking to give back to the community, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
We are proud of the positive impact we've had on the lives of countless students, many of whom have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. By providing these young minds with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, we are not only changing their futures but also contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation on a broader scale.

👍 Holis&c – it must consider the whole experience.
👍 Dependent on the Context of use.
👍 Must be Useful, Useable, and Compelling within that
context. And why not make it Deligh7ul!

opposite of good UX.

Jakob Nielsen’s
“Ten Commandments”:
1. Keep users informed of system status with constant feedback.
2. Set information in a logical, natural order.
3. Ensure users can easily undo/redo actions.
4. Maintain consistent standards so users know what to do next without
having to learn new toolsets.
5. Prevent errors if possible; wherever not, warn users before they commit
to actions.
6. Don’t make users remember information; keep options, etc. visible.
7. Make systems flexible so novices and experts can choose to do more or
less on them.
8. Design with aesthetics and minimalism in mind – don’t clutter with
unnecessary items.
9. Provide plain-language error messages to pinpoint problems and likely
solutions.
10. Offer easy-to-search troubleshooting resources, if needed.
15. Agen%c.ca | jai@agen%c.ca
Empathy expert Whitney Hess:
1. Don’t interrupt or give users obstacles; make
obvious pathways offering an easy ride.
2. Offer few opKons – don’t hinder users with
“nice to haves”; instead, give them needed
alternaKves.
3. Reduce distracKons – let users perform tasks
consecuKvely, not simultaneously.
4. Cluster related objects together.
5. Have an easy-to-scan visual hierarchy
mirroring users’ needs, with commonly used
items handily available.
6. Make things easy to find.
7. Show users where they’ve come from and
where they’re headed with signposts/cues.
8. Provide context, showing how everything
interconnects.
9. Avoid jargon.
10. Make designs efficient and streamlined.
11. Use defaults wisely – offering predetermined,
well-considered opKons helps minimize
decisions and increase efficiency.
12. Don’t delay users – ensure quick interface
responses.
13. EmoKon – pleasure of use is as vital as ease
of use; arousing users’ passion increases
engagement.
14. Less is more – make everything count in the
design. If funcKonal and aestheKc elements
don’t add to the user experience, forget
them.
15. Be consistent with navigaKonal mechanisms,
organizaKonal structure, etc., to make a
stable, reliable and predictable design.
16. Create a good first impression.
17. Be trustworthy and credible – idenKfy
yourself via your design, assuring users and
eliminaKng uncertainty.
