But many teams struggle with how to get content up front. Whatever your role, you need to worry about content – or work with someone who does. When we start with context and give structure to the content, we can create multiple windows into a world. Flip the process. Design structure first. Work in layers to make interface designs that help people make better sense of the information they need.

Quick and dirty ethnography for the initiate, Feb 26, 2018

Watch Recording It’s FREE!

The world is complex, competition is stiff, and ethnography is here to inform strategy and design. As brands strive to reach new markets and products seek to address the needs of new users, researchers who support these efforts may find themselves in search for new tools and techniques. Traditional qualitative consumer and user research methods such as focus groups, usability tests, and other lab-based methods yield valuable findings but they have their limits. For teams engaged in user-centered innovation, success depends on their ability to understand people, their needs, and their behaviors. Ethnography can unlock new levels of understanding through immersion and contextual learning.

Split Focus: Designing Applications for Multiple Monitor Setups, Jan 5, 2018

Watch Recording It’s FREE!

The next big challenge on the horizon for UX in application design is not about the small screen—it’s about going large. Large monitors keep getting cheaper – and higher resolution – so many users working with SaaS and enterprise applications today have multiple monitors on their desks. It is frustrating for those users when applications do not scale well to a larger size, wasting screen real  estate, and not taking advantage of the additional monitors to support side-by-side comparisons and multi-tasking that are common to knowledge workers in many domains. As UX design consultants, we are increasingly seeing opportunities to improve user experience and productivity for business users by utilizing multiple monitors. In this presentation, we discuss new UX design patterns and challenges that arise in software and web-based application design for multiple monitors, illustrating them with real project examples.

Storytelling and the Art of Getting the Design Job, Oct 11, 2017

Watch Recording It’s FREE

As designers, we focus on crafting the perfect web site or app. We agonize over our customer personas, the right flows, and making sure every pixel is perfect. When selling ourselves for our next job or project, we can use these same Experience Design skills to craft a detailed narrative that speaks to our target audience, the interviewers.
Design is a process of problem solving; during the  hiring process, we are trying to solve a two-sided problem, matching the best talent with the right project. A story-centered approach, in conjunction with other user-centered design techniques (including research and testing), can help to create superior outcomes. This talk will discuss the various steps in the interview process and how to nail them by focusing on the power of storytelling.

Make Meaningful Work (Designing Projects for Success), Sep 6, 2017

Watch Recording It’s FREE
Being involved in doing meaningful work is something we all want. The psychiatrist Viktor Frank famously described how the innate human quest for meaning is so strong that, even in terrible circumstances, people seek out their purpose in life. Today people feel stuck on projects that have little value or sometimes described as “bullshit work”. We all get lost in the noise, speed, and deliverables of the day to day work that we forget about why we are working on a project in the first place. This results in feeling purposeless, stressed, unhealthy and in a state of “sleepwalking”.

What if we could create a project ecosystem that encouraged people to thrive and relevant practices to help people do the work that matters? – where the best work felt like play and the best play felt like work.
During this fun workshop we will learn to:

  • Define the core elements needed for projects to be successful
  • Listen to and learn from project stories to give clues on project behaviours
  • Define roles beyond job title to help a project flow
  • Document your own person qualities and best practices so you can be a guide and lead for others in well understood shared story
  • Design a plan for influencing your day-to-day work to make it more meaningful for yourself and others.

Finally, we will all discuss the importance of these daily practices with a clear intention of wellness for people, work, projects, communities and economies for an enlightened future and it will leave all of us inspired to traverse from being stuck on projects (“sleepwalking”), to flow (“sparkle”).

UX-Led Content Strategy: Getting to the Core of Every Experience, Aug 16, 2017

Watch Recording It’s FREE

Content is a bigger part of UX than most realized. In fact, user satisfaction of any experience is determined by how well the content meets their needs and expectations. In this talk we’ll expand our understanding and definition of content. Spoiler, it’s not just about text on a page, and it’s not just relevant to the web, and it goes deeper than information architecture. Content can, and should, be measured for its functional efficacy. As the crafters of the experience, it’s our right and responsibility to influence the creation of content so it moves users mentally, emotionally, and physically the way we intend. We’ll talk about tools and techniques UX can use to ensure the content of the experience lives up to user’s expectations. Most important, we’ll see there are big rewards for UX when we take on this responsibility.

Presenter: Mike Donahue

Demystifying Eye-Tracking for UX Research, Jul 19, 2017

Watch Recording It’s FREE

Are you interested in eye-tracking as a tool for answering UX questions? Are you intimidated by the learning curve involved? Don’t despair! You can use eye-tracking qualitatively or quantitatively, and it doesn’t have to be extremely time consuming or difficult. The complexity of eye-tracking depends largely on your research questions and the level of rigor in quantitative analysis that you apply.  In this webinar, I will help demystify eye-tracking for UX, make a case for why you should consider adding it to your toolbox and offer lessons I learned as an eye-tracking noob.

Stretching online research tools to meet your research goals, Apr 19, 2017

Watch recording It’s FREE

Some UX research goals are easy to fulfill, others are wicked hard. To meet those wicked goals, I often end up stretching online UX research software well beyond the software’s original intent. In this session (updated since it was first presented at UXPA 2016 )I’ll explore some unconventional ways to solve challenging research questions. We’ll look at case studies ranging from prototyping a tax wizard with surveyware to a Wizard of Oz voice response study implemented on tree-testing software. Links will be provided so that afterwards everyone can try a shortened version of the research tools. You’ll hear some funny stories about how the support and management teams at SurveyGizmo, Optimal Workshop and Eyes Decide have all helped me out at various times as I took their software into places they’d never imagined it would go.

What We (Don’t) Learn From Eye Tracking. Nov. 7, 2016

Recording Coming Soon! It’s FREE! Co-Sponsored by Mediabarn

Eye tracking is a unique technology that allows researchers to study people’s eye movements to better understand how they visually perceive information. One key strength of eye tracking is that it allows researchers to collect feedback passively as the individual views information. Most other methods of evaluation and testing – such as interviews and focus groups – involve an interviewer asking people about their reactions, which can introduce error into the evaluation.

Understanding what users look at while using a product, is not as difficult as it once was. Modern technology has made this eye-tracking technique quite simple and affordable. In this talk, you will learn about modern eye tracking and how it can help you to understand your users. Jen will discuss recent usability testing projects that included eye tracking and revealed important findings that led to changing the appearance of products and ultimately improved the user experience. Attendees will learn about the importance of conducting usability testing during product development, pros and cons of using eye tracking with mobile devices, and what the different types of data and visualizations can tell you. Attendees will also learn when eye tracking is NOT appropriate to use and when eye-tracking data can be misleading.

Presenter: Jennifer Romano Bergstrom, Sr. UX Researcher, Facebook

Jennifer Romano Bergstrom has over a decade of experience planning, conducting and managing user-centered research projects. At Facebook, she leads user experience (UX) research for Privacy and Safety Check.

Most UX designers hear that empathy is key to understanding the user base. This presentation will take that knowledge one step further. Empathy is not only a tool for designers, but also a task and a skill for users of certain applications. During this webinar, screen captures of an application made for the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum will be shown as an example of an application that encourages empathy in users through personal stories, visual cues, and other devices.

In her spare time, Madeline creates books for teenagers and frequents museums.

Techniques to Enhance Your Moderating Skills – Sept. 28, 2016

Watch recording

Being an effective moderator is one of the most important skills a user experience researcher can master. Being a good moderator is more than reading from a test script, it involves all of the complex social interactions and self-awareness that is a core part of human-to-human interaction. It is extremely easy to impose our views and alter the behavior patterns of a participant. It takes time to perfect moderating skills and requires regular input from even the more experienced researchers. Constructive critiquing is a useful and productive way to get feedback and help to refine those skills.

In this webinar, you will learn the do’s and don’ts of moderating qualitative user research sessions. Common mistakes such as leading a participant, questions about when it is and is not ok to interrupt a participant, and how to effectively probe, will be addressed. This interactive presentation will demonstrate moderating techniques and the five key personas developed by our presenter that reflect some of the most challenging types of participants to work with. A series of fun and entertaining exercises will help the audience to develop strategies to handle challenging participants. The webinar will also include Q&A time with an opportunity to ask questions from this veteran moderator.

Whether you are a seasoned moderator or a first-timer, this session is for you. What do attendees gain from this webinar?

  • A way to self-assess your current moderation skills,
  • Understand five commonly encountered participant personas and how to get the most from these types of individuals, and
  • Have a chance to ask a seasoned moderator any tips and tricks on moderating techniques.

Revisiting the Basics of Human Behavior to Optimize UX Design – July 27, 2016

Watch recoding

While Introduction to Psychology remains one of the most popular undergraduate courses in the U.S., enrollment is disproportionately comprised of younger students who have rarely heard about or decided to pursue a UX career. Alas, principles of Long-Term Memory (Ebbinghaus, 1885) all but guarantee that at least some of the important principles introduced in introductory psychology courses will be forgotten. In this webinar, key principles of human behavior that are often covered in Psychology 101 are revisited, and then examined on how they help to inform optimal UX design, all while drawing on industry experience to provide real-world examples of these principles in practice.

Going Rogue: Rethinking UX Research – June 29, 2016

Watch recording

Having a background in the social and behavioral sciences provides a strong foundation from which to design methodology and research practices in applied settings. That foundation is also critical when evaluating where it’s possible to relax rigor and employ creativity in order to generate insights in new ways for clients and stakeholders outside of the research community.

This webinar focuses on specific examples where traditional qualitative research approaches have provided the conceptual basis for methods design, and where they also provided the guardrails to experiment with research process and approach. This webinar will also include an examination of the unique applied contexts where such experimentation is possible – specifically objectives, actors, and desired outcomes. The webinar concludes with tips and tactical considerations for the audience.

Effective Digital Diary Studies – May 18, 2016

Watch recording

Diary studies are one of the few research methods that allows people to report their in-the-moment experiences, but their usefulness has been limited by the difficulty in getting people to remember to carry them around and fill them out. Mobile phones have breathed new life into diary studies since people are already using them in short spurts throughout their day. However designing a study that collects relevant data can be tricky.

This talk will feature some of the different ways diary studies can be conducted digitally and provide a range of examples showing what kind of data was collected and how it was used. The talk will also cover best practices for creating an effective digital diary study. Attendees will come away with not only an understanding of how much rich data can be collected via diary studies, but with the basic knowledge needed to design their own.

UX Doesn’t Happen on a Screen, It’s in the Mind – April 21, 2016

UX isn’t a singular experience we can define. And it doesn’t happen on a screen – it happens in the mind. More specifically, the six minds. Discover how UX is truly a collection of experiences occurring across six brain concentrations, each with their own processing styles and ideal states. And how, using psychological principles, you can uncover the conscious and subconscious needs of these six minds to appeal to users on cognitive and emotional levels. See concrete examples of how this process can be leveraged to uncover key insights for products and how to blend this approach into your discovery and empathy research.

This webinar, co-sponsored by Brilliant Experience, covers:

  • UX is not on a screen, but rather is multimodal and multidimensional.
  • What the six minds are.
  • How you uncover what is in those minds.
  • How you can use this process on your own.

How would a 5% improvement in your website conversion rates (via sign-ups, sales, repeat orders, etc.) enhance your bottom line? If you’re not doing regular usability testing, then you’re probably leaving at least that value on the table. But it’s most likely much, much more. Your website and apps need to be tested, readjusted, and re-tested regularly to ensure they provide optimal returns. Developing empathy for the way your customers really see the world is a highly cost-effective way to dramatically increase your chances of achieving higher profits.

In this practical webinar your takeaways include:

  • Four usability testing techniques you can use immediately,
  • “5 Second” Test,
  • Basic Usability Test (Task Testing),
  • Content Test,
  • Expert vs. Novice Test, and
  • An understanding of Ascest’s Product Acquisition Model so you’ll know how to run the right test at the right time.
