User-Centered Design and the LIS Curriculum: Reflections on the UX Program at...craigmmacdonald
With its emphasis on users and their experiences with technology, User Experience (UX) is an emerging area of interest for many fields. It is especially relevant to the Library and Information Sciences (LIS) communities, as libraries, museums, archives and other information organizations become increasingly dependent on the web and digital technologies. This presentation describes Pratt Institute's innovative, multi-faceted educational program aimed at preparing students for careers as UX professionals, either outside or within LIS-focused organizations, through blending traditional classroom learning with extracurricular opportunities that provide students with a mix of theoretical knowledge and practical application.
Presented at 2014 Annual Conference of the Association for Library and Information Science Education (ALISE 2014).

These are some of our slides from our final presentation of 'co-lab Gramer Haor'. This was a collaboration studio between "Birmingham City University (BCU)" and "Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST)". We were group D from that studio; Ahmad Zubayr and Dawood Khan were two of the groupmates from BCU and me, Nafiz Ahmed, জয়িতা জয়ী were from SUST.
Overall , it was a great experience to work with such renowned school. Thanks to all the teachers from BCU and SUST for the opportunity and the guidance.
NB- there are some QR codes in the slides. if you scan those by your phone, you will get some 360 view from our developed design.
