New Hampshire Usability Professionals Association meeting 13 April

[Ted Roche]

For those interested...

*ABOUT THE TALK:*
While the Web has evolved from flat documents to being fluidly ambient, 
we’re using the same user research and usability testing methods and 
techniques we were using in 1994.

We  know that conducting usability tests can tell us where people get 
frustrated. What will testing reveal about frustrations with 
interactions people have with other people online? When interaction is 
protean, how do you derive a task scenario? What are the success criteria?

When you have large-scale social, individual workarounds turn into 
functionality and social norms. Etiquette evolves organically. What’s 
that test look like?

In this session, Dana will boil these questions down to 5 major issues 
UXers working in the social Web are grappling with and share experiences 
from SxD pioneering researchers.

*ABOUT OUR PRESENTER:*
Dana Chisnell has helped thousands of people learn how to make better 
design decisions by giving them the skills they need to gain knowledge 
about users.

She has observed hundreds of study participants for dozens of clients to 
learn about design issues in software, hardware, web sites, online 
services, games, and ballots, helping these organizations perform 
usability tests and user research to inform design decisions for 
products and services.

These days, her pet topics are election design, usable security, and 
researching social interactions mediated by technology.

She’s the co-author, with Jeff Rubin, of/Handbook of Usability Testing 
Second Edition/(Wiley, 2008).
