This is my presentation covering Dan Saffer's UX London day one presentation and the workshop from days two and three.
Originally presented at the London IA UX London Redux on August 12th, 2009.
Developers, you're designing experiences (and you didn't even know it)P.J. Onori
Designers are from Venus, developers are from Mars. For far too long, the two groups have had difficulties working together. At best, it is dysfunctional, at worst, impossible. In return, we have been drowned in a sea of horrible products.
Great experiences come from design and technology working together to complement each other. In this presentation, the focus in on how developers can be integrated into the design process earlier and more effectively.
Putting Design Back into Instructional DesignCammy Bean
With such a focus on instruction, we've forgotten about Design. Or perhaps never even learned what Design is. Let's put the design back into instructional design! These are my slides from a presentation at DevLearn 2013 in Las Vegas, NV.
WORKSHOP: Making the World Easier with Interaction DesignCheryl Platz
An updated version of an Intro to Interaction Design workshop I've taught intermittently since 2012. Intended age level is middle to high school age students, but is also appropriate for adults curious about the field.
The first portion (excluding the optional heuristic review) can be taught, though tight, in approximately 90 minutes. With the optional second portion, allocate a minimum of 2 hours. More time allows for better discussion and perhaps expansion of the sketching into some flows. See the back of the deck for additional instructor notes.
Recommended materials:
Printer paper (~5 sheets per student minimum)
Pencils and erasers
I have delivered this workshop to over 500 students:
Amazon GirlsWhoCode Camp - 2015
Microsoft DigiGirlz Camp (Redmond) - 2012, 2013, 2014
UW's Dawgbytes Camp - 2012
For a blog post about the pilot sessions in 2012, as well as some examples from student sketches, see http://blog.cherylplatz.com/?p=181

User Interface Design
User Centred Design and principles, Iterative Design, User research, Building Personas, Design studio method, Prototyping basics and tools, Paper prototyping, Usability testing
The elements of product success for designers and developersNick Myers
All software, whether it's for consumers or workers, needs to meet the ever growing demands people have in today’s world. Greater user expectations and influence are forcing companies to create and deliver better products, but not every organization has a rich heritage in software creation like tech giants Apple and Google. Most companies need to be more customer-focused, become design specialists, and transform their cultures as they shift to become both software makers and innovators.
Myers, head of design services at Cooper, will share the elements of product success that companies need to possess and be market leaders: user insight, design, and organization. Myers will share principles and techniques that successful innovative companies use to truly understand their customers. He’ll also discuss the methods effective designers use to support their customers and create breakthrough ideas and delightful experiences. And he’ll finish by sharing the magic formula organizations need to deliver ground-breaking experiences to market.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

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.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
2. For this year's Tech class, the project I
thought about is something that should be
USEFUL FOR ME, FUNCTIONAL,
WOODWORKING
(because I found it interesting)
and has something
to do with
4. It's simply your regular, basic, and
boring desk.
Minus the basic and the boring :)
What can it do?
5. 3 MAIN
CHARACTERISTICS
OF THE DESK
1. Functional
Still functions like a regular
desk!
Comfortable enough for you to
both relax and be productive
WHAT CAN IT DO?
7. 3 MAIN
CHARACTERISTICS
OF THE DESK
2. Modular
3 Basic Interchangeable
Modules
Small Divider
Big Divider
Cabinet
WHAT CAN IT DO?
8. 3 MAIN
CHARACTERISTICS
OF THE DESK
3. Sturdy
Structurally safe and doesn't
compromise the safety of
the user!
WHAT CAN IT DO?
9. Friction-fit joints
Spacious storage cabinets
Interchangeable modules
Wide tabletop (91 cm by 28 cm)
Decent leg space (32 cm by 25 cm)
Perfect for a swivel chair (30 cm high)
Features
13. ...be gadget-friendly
The desk should...
NEAT WAYS TO TUCK IN WIRES (neat and organized)
COMFORTABLE LEG SPACE (for prolonged use)
SPACIOUS TABLETOP (for computer peripherals)
14. ...be
AESTHETICALLY
pleasing
The desk should...
16. well it isn't that bad but...
FLAWS
Not all of the joints were friction-fit (some needed some sanding)
Back panel didn't fit correctly
Sliding mechanism was not as smooth as initially planned
Slight tilt between the various legs
18. OUT OF SCALE
Initially, I used the SketchUp 2018 software
to make my model.
However, upon constructing the prototype
(Laser cutting), the output was out of scale.
This would have been due to when I
exported the model, it got out of scale and I
failed to double check ALL (I checked only
some) of the measurements.
WHAT HAPPENED?
19. MATERIAL SOURCING
Even in the initial parts of the project, there
was a suggestion to use various kinds of
materials in constructing the desk
(Laminated tabletop). From the price alone,
it seemed impossible, or rather very costly,
in completing this desk. In wood cutting the
1 is to 2 scale prototype, this already
needed 2 pieces of 4 by 6 feet plywood
amounting to around Php 2000 alone.
WHAT HAPPENED?
20. OTHER PEERS
When I planned my schedule out, a huge
delay was brought about by being unable to
laser cut my 2nd prototype because it was
after classes and I got kicked out because
other people reasoned out that it was a
"free-for-all" and others could laser cut too.
Nonetheless, having a better schedule
would have solved the problem and
avoided further delay.
WHAT HAPPENED?
22. LESSON #1
Don't procrastinate! Time is of the essence!
WHAT DID I LEARN FROM A WRECK OF A JOURNEY?
PLAN AHEAD
Make a schedule wherein you're sure
that you'll be able to follow. Set your
appointments and follow the
deadlines. However, account for all
the worst scenarios and be ready to
compensate when you need to, a little
adjustment isn't that bad (keyword
*little*)
23. LESSON #2
Communication is key!
WHAT DID I LEARN FROM A WRECK OF A JOURNEY?
CONSULT WITH
OTHER PEOPLE!
One of my biggest shortcomings would have
been consulting frequently with other people
with regards to my design. Consultation helps
you in being able to correct your mistakes
while you still can and they're meant to help
you through both positive feedback and
constructive criticisms.
24. LESSON #3
Check the label/measurements! Better safe than sorry!
WHAT DID I LEARN FROM A WRECK OF A JOURNEY?
OBSERVE & RECORD,
NEVER ASSUME
Another big downfall of mine was when I was
in times of uncertainty, I just tend to assume
and wing it. Don't be like me. Always be sure
and recheck when needed. Wasting your
precious time and resources on something
that's been a mistake from the start is one of
the worst feelings.
25. LESSON #4
Such is life.
WHAT DID I LEARN FROM A WRECK OF A JOURNEY?
BE READY, TO MAKE MISTAKES
Despite being one of the worst feelings, it's alright to make mistakes. Just
don't forget to learn from them so that you won't end up committing the
same ones over and over again. (like me)
26. WHAT DID I LEARN FROM A WRECK OF A JOURNEY?
IF GIVEN THE
CHANCE
I would stick to the schedule.
I would consult with other people.
I would double check just to be sure.
I would avoid procrastinating.
I would learn from my mistakes.
