The document discusses different options for distributing a music video online, including YouTube, MySpace, Dailymotion, and Vimeo. YouTube is selected because it has the largest audience size of teenagers aged 13-19, the target demographic. As the most well-known video sharing site, YouTube will help expose the music video to the largest possible viewership and is free to use.
A 6 hour design jam to come up with ideas for how to create more flexible and collaborative spaces at Shure. This was an example of sometimes high tech solutions not being the right ones.
This document discusses SoftServe's approach to application security testing. It outlines typical security processes, reports, and issues found. It then proposes an integrated security process using both static code analysis and dynamic testing. This would involve deploying applications through a CI pipeline to security tools to identify vulnerabilities early in development cycles. The benefits are presented as reduced remediation costs, improved knowledge, and full technology coverage through internal testing versus third parties.

Speaking drupal: a cultural linguistic adventureJackie Wolf
Session at Drupal MidCamp in Chicago 2016: "Are you now or have ever you been new to Drupal and the Drupal community? Entering into any new community requires some grasp of the language used in that community. This session takes an ethnolinguistic approach to understanding the Drupal Community and presents an analysis that can act as a guide to newcomers as well as seasoned Drupalers who are fascinated by the way we talk about a thing shapes the thing. In particular, we will look at the grammar of Drupal, the use and development of Drupal slang, and how to communicate effectively within the Drupal community."

As part of the Global Information Engagement Program (GIEP) at the University of Michigan School of Information, I worked with two other individuals on a mobile maternal child health application to improve data collection and communication, and to streamline services. This set of slides is at the beginning of our discovery process in Western Bengal. There are additional slides discussing our final outcomes.
Creating a One-handed User Interface for DronesJackie Wolf
This document describes a student team's project to design a one-handed user interface for controlling drones to make drone flight more accessible. The team consists of four masters students with relevant experience and skills. Currently, drone apps are not accessible, do not allow for multitasking, and have unhelpful feedback. The team proposes a single-handed interface using different finger gestures to control direction, altitude, and rotation. They believe this will have wide impact as drone use increases and argue for inclusive design. Next steps are to develop a prototype, add more controls, and refine the design to pitch to manufacturers.
Stranger in a Strange Land: Traveling & UXJackie Wolf
This is the Ignite UX talk I gave in the Fall of 2014 concerning traveling and UX design. I talked about what the "body language" of a website is and what it's like to be a "website traveler" rather than a regular user.
Intro to Tools & Resources: UMSI Orientation Fall 2014Jackie Wolf
I ran a session during UMSI orientation that introduced incoming students to the tools we are accustomed to using as a Google Campus: Drive, Mail, Calendars, and other items.
This was a group presentation for the course SI 622:Needs Assessment and Usability Testing, at the University of Michigan School of Information during the Winter of 2014. We conducted these interviews as part of our usability study for our client. We briefed the class on our client, methods, findings, recommendations, and takeaways from that portion of the project. .
QuasiCon 2014, "The Embedded Librarian: Reference Services in the Trenches"Jackie Wolf
This was a presentation as part of the UMSI student ALA QuasiCon 2014. QuasiCon is an un-conference conference which consists of a mixture of presentation, lightning talks, and discussion sections. I presented research I had done on embedded librarians for my class on "Information Resources and Services". The keynote speaker actually addressed the same topic, so we complimented each other quite well.
The research I did on embedded librarianship actually fed into my passion for fieldwork in UX, especially fieldwork where the researcher works side by side with the user.
Exposure Series: Trans-Siberian Train AdventuresJackie Wolf
I gave this PechaKucha like presentation on my experience traveling the Trans-Siverian railroad during the summer of 2013, as part of the North Quad Exposure Series. The series is intended for members of the University, Ann Arbor, and Detroit community to present and discuss on a wide range of interdisciplinary topics. What was intended to be a 6 minute 40 second presentation turned into a 35 minute talk due to technical complications. However, even after 35 minutes I still had stories to tell relating back to our rules of travel.
UMSI Exposition: 1960's Civil Rights Research GuideJackie Wolf
This was a collaborative project to design a research guide for undergraduate students researching the 1960's Civil Rights Movement.
The guide itself lives here: http://sferrari.org/si647rg/websites/
But this is a poster that I developed to showcase our work for an exposition showcasing projects by students at the University of Michigan's School of Information. In a field of apps and wearable prototypes I wanted to demonstrate that library science is still doing good work and utilizes many of the same principles of UX work.
Information Architecture: Building Story- The de Young Museum, San Francisco, CAJackie Wolf
I presented this for the course SI658: Information Architecture, Winter 2014. The purpose of this assignment was to pick a building we had experienced and discuss whether we considered it a good building or bad building and defend it based on the IA principles discussed in class.
I decided to challenge myself by choosing a building that I did not consider to be beautiful, and defend whether or not it was good based on Vitruvius' principles of architecture.
Information Architecture: Architect Story- Julia MorganJackie Wolf
Julia Morgan was the first female architect licensed in California and the first woman to independently run an architectural practice in the United States. She had a prolific career designing over 750 structures, including Hearst Castle. Morgan was a pioneer in environmentally sensitive "green" architecture and was known for designs that integrated natural materials and withstood earthquakes. Her most famous commission was Hearst Castle, where she worked from 1919 to 1947 designing the estate's structures and integrating William Randolph Hearst's art collection despite challenging terrain and limited resources. Morgan believed architecture should be both functional and beautiful.
