Across Cultures from NFB / ONF: Connect to Canada’s Diversity through film : User Centered Design in Multicultural Context

Across Cultures, the most recent Website of the National Film Board of Canada (NFB). In collaboration with Ideactif Conseil.

D’une culture à l’autre de l’ONF : Un design centré utilisateur en contexte multiculturel.

Le plus récent site Web de l’Office national du film du Canada (ONF) portant sur la diversité culturelle au Canada. En collaboration avec Idéactif Conseil.

Voici un aperçu de la conférence que j’ai présenté dans le cadre d’Intracom 2008, 8e conférence internationale de l’Association des professionnels professionnels en intranet, Internet et extranet (API).

Les ingrédients clés de la démarche ont été dévoilés et illustrés lors de cette présentation du making-of de la création du plus récent site Web de l’ONF portant sur la diversité culturelle au Canada. Un site qui retrace une histoire étonnante à travers des documents d’archives vidéos, audios et photos des années 40 à aujourd’hui, ainsi que des entrevues et vox populi spécialement conçus pour ce site.

Utilisabilité, accessibilité, standards Web, respect des normes et standards ouverts, SEO, et mesure sont au rendez-vous.

Vous pouvez consulter ci-dessous le fichier powerpoint de ma présentation. Il ne rend compte évidemment que d’une partie de ma communication, mais ça donne tout de même un bon aperçu.
