  • Pattern Languages for Interaction Design
    Will Evans stalked and captured Erin Malone, Christian Crumlish, and Lucas Pettinati to talk about design patterns, pattern libraries, styleguides, and innovation. Erin, Christian, and Lucas are leading a workshop on design patterns at this year’s Interactions in Vancouver; and, Erin and Christian are writing a book on patterns for designing social spaces for O’Rreilly. “ An interaction design pattern is not a step-by-step recipe or a specification. It’s a set of things we’ve learned that tend to work in clearly defined situations as well as some known issues that need to be balanced or sorted out or otherwise addressed.

  • Designing the Democratic
    The role of the information architect (IA), interaction designer, or user experience (UX) designer is to help create architecture and interactions which will impact the user in constructive, meaningful ways. Sometimes the design choices are strategic and affect a broad interaction environment; other times they may be tactical and detailed, affecting few. But sometimes the design choices we make are not good enough for the users we’re trying to reach. Often a sense of democratic responsibility is missing in the artifacts and experiences which result from our designs

  • eLearning Costs : eLearning Technology
    In many cases, there can be significant work to design that kind of learning experience. If it's merely a port without significant redesign, then that's a pretty high price. If you are going to raise a stink, I would suggest you do it by pointing to various resources that discuss costs. However, before you jump all over the 383 per finished hour that the vendor is citing, note that Kapp includes Soft Skills Simulations that ranges from 320 to 731 per finished hour. So, again, a big question is whether they are designing a kind of simulation that plays within the simple interactions

  • Wanted/Needed: UX Design for Collaboration 2.0
    They may exchange ideas, arrange an event, write a report, lay bricks, or design some software. They include the outcomes of the process – the office block that progressively gets built, the web site that finally gets commissioned – as well as a variety of objects that were used along the way to promote, direct and record collaboration – such as design documents, project schedules, and meeting agendas. Evolve Into An Enterprise Technology? , No current software supports the full process of collaboration. That’s a bold claim, and I hope that someone can prove me wrong.

  • Four Key Principles of Mobile User Experience Design
    Prior to becoming a senior UX designer at Popular Front Interactive, I spent two years as a mobile UX researcher within the Georgia Institute of Technology’s Mobile Technologies Group – a lab tasked with both future-casting and then rapidly prototyping innovative mobile experiences. Since mobile devices are likely to be the smallest screens in a user’s experience, the design of mobile experiences must accommodate the user’s varying commitment and distributed attention. As I transitioned from academia to industry, I discovered that while mobile UX was discussed, it wasn’t discussed from the same broad frame of reference that I was used to within the confines of a research-based institution.
