Developers: Why Care About the User? (2017)Andrew Malek
As developers, we deal with technologies, frameworks, and data, making it very easy to forget that what we create is meant for real people to use.
While designers and UI specialists should handle most decisions about how a product or service looks and feels, we should all be on the same page to make better solutions. Whether we are building an interface for a desktop website, mobile application, or chatbot, what are some basic design concepts that we as developers can pick up, allowing us to be on the same page with designers and product owners during product meetings and discussions?
Perils and Promises of Technology in Online CommunicationsBob Johnson, Ph.D.
Keynote presentation at NIRSA Marketing Institute. Reviews new options available for college and university marketing communications, the promise of new connections and higher impact and the perils of losing message control.
Presented by Maria Dahman, User Experience Researcher, University of Wisconsin-Madison for WiLSWorld 2019 on July 24th in Madison, Wisconsin.
You’ve gathered website analytics, run surveys, and observed how people use your website and other digital resources– now what? Impressive user research doesn’t matter much if the research isn’t used. More than just communicating what we learned in our research, communicating what we recommend for website or application improvements and framing the recommendations to our audiences in meaningful ways is a skill of its own. In this workshop, we’ll look at findings from several types of research projects and work through positive and negative examples of how the findings are used to create recommendations. This is useful for both qualitative user experience research (interviews, usability testing) and quantitative research (page analytics, usability scales). Be a better advocate for your users. Make the hard work from your interviews and other user research count!
Strategies, Tactics and Design Tips for Mobile Email SuccessLitmus
It’s probably a safe bet that the percentage of your subscribers opening your emails on mobile devices is growing — and quite rapidly.

Ensure your emails don’t get lost in the mobile shuffle by getting the information you need to optimize your email program for its growing mobile subscriber base.
Topics discussed include how to identify your mobile audience, how to design your emails for optimum user experience across a variety of mobile devices, tips for increasing subscriber engagement with mobile-friendly content, and much more!
Why Nobody Fills Out My Forms (Updated)Andrew Malek
Has your web form conversion rate hit a wall? Are users not receiving confirmation e-mails, getting pestered with password or data format warnings *after* they finish entering their information, or bailing after being asked the same questions multiple ways? Find out why not enough people are filling out your web forms, and learn suggestions of A/B tests you can try to help encourage more people to interact.
These are the accompanying slides from a workshop / lecture I delivered in both November 2013 to a group of students from the University of Central Lancashire, and in January 2014 to a group of students from Manchester Metropolitan University, on the topic of responsive design.

Similar to Why I Hate The Interweb - Kath Moonan at Scripting Enabled (20)
We are obsessed with coding and creating automated workflows and optimisations. And yet our final products aren't making it easy for people to use them. Somewhere, we lost empathy for our end users and other developers. Maybe it is time to change that. Here are some ideas.
PWA are a hot topic and it is important to understand that they are a different approach to apps than the traditional way of packaging something and letting the user install it. In this keynote you'll see some of the differences.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.
