User Experience Design

Two-Day Workshop, Beginner to Intermediate
4 and 5 November 2008, Hotel Real Oeiras, Portugal

An immersive two-day workshop that teaches the principles and practices of information architecture and interaction design within the broader framework of user experience. Emphasis is placed on designing effective interfaces for the end-user and on structuring and organizing content to ensure maximum discoverability.

Topics:

  • The Elements of User Experience. Presents an easy-to-understand conceptual framework with definitions and illustrations.
  • Beyond User Experience. Highlights concepts such as search, findability, and knowledge management that are often left out of user experience discussions.
  • Information Architecture Systems. In-depth review of component systems including structure, organization, labeling, search and navigation.
  • Interaction Design Principles. Explores the structure and behavior of interactive products with special attention to Web 2.0 affordances such as user participation, tagging, syndication, mashups, and rich interfaces.
  • User Experience Methodology. Describes the methods, tools, and deliverables necessary to design successful user experiences and products.

Benefits:

  • Explore the complex relationships between strategy, structure, information architecture, interaction design and other elements of the user experience.
  • Learn how to make web sites, software products, and interactive services more useful, usable, accessible, desirable, credible, and findable.
  • See best-in-class examples drawn from corporate, e-commerce, education, and government web sites and intranets.
