Progressive testing of Web sites and software applications is a critical component of creating a user-centered design. This seminar provides practical techniques to help move the web and application design into compliance with the user’s needs, limitations, mental models and cognitive styles. Rich functionality is worth little if the user can’t access it. This seminar provides usability practitioners with quick and practical tools to accurately predict how users will experience their applications.

Putting Research into Practice provides participants with an engaging review of foundational and recent research with a distinct “How can I use this?” focus. HFI’;s experts provide in-depth summaries of the current literature in Human-Computer Interaction, Psychology, Computer Science, Technology, Usability Engineering, and Marketing. We present the practical implications of this research and its impact on how we conduct user-centered design. Through discussion and lively exchange, participants learn to effectively apply exploratory research to their real-world applications.

User-centered analysis is the basis for interface design that make sense to the user. With a clear definition of user requirements, developers and designers are able to create effective and usable software interface designs. Students learn the methods of analyzing user-centered requirements.Topics covered are user profiling, data gathering, scenarios, and transitioning to final design. The course offers stimulating lectures and hands-on exercises to give the student the tools and confidence needed to conduct an effective analysis. This course is an excellent complement to our Web design course.
