Informal project presentations to our cohort! Come prepared to walk us through your project.  Be prepared to answer questions and hear constructive criticism about your work, as well as give honest, constructive criticism about the work of your peers.

Before the workshop:

  • Review the Usability Evaluation Basics page from usability.gov for a brief description of common types of usability testing methods.
  • The Yale University Usability & Web Accessibility site is a great resource for developing user-friendly and accessible web sites.  For today’s purposes, just review the section on Usability Best Practices.
  • Finally, choose 2-3 myths from the website UXMyths to explore.
    • Consider how you connected with the “myths” – either as a designer of a site (did any of these make you re-think a design choice, or confirm what you are already implementing?) or as a web user (did you immediately think of an experience or site where the myth rang true?).
