Canberra Australia 2009-04-23 Indi Young - Mental Models There is no single methodology for creating the perfect web product. But you can increase your odds, and one of the best ways to do this is to really understand users' reasons for doing things. Indi Young's Mental Models workshop will give you the tools to help you grasp, and design for, those reasons. If you are a product designer, user experience professional, or design researcher looking to create better web products for your organisation or clients, don't miss this full day workshop. Lisa Herrod - Web usability: a holistic approach Creating a great 'User Experience' is now expected not only of the Usability Specialist, but also of the entire project team. More than ever, web practitioners across all roles within a team are required to have knowledge of and even experience in conducting user research and usability testing. The current economic climate adds to this pressure as businesses strive to get the best from their online investments. This workshop is for people who need to understand usability in the context of their role, who want to improve their skills and take a more professional approach to it in their work. This is a hands on practical workshop combined with discussions on a variety of methods and approaches to implementing usability in the real world. Andy Clarke - Visual Web Design Masterclass Sometimes, in all the excitement about AJAX, APIs, frameworks and other technical whizz-bangs, talk about visual design on the web gets lost. This one day masterclass by the the author of Transcending CSS, Andy Clarke, will inspire you to make the best design possible for the web, and show you how to discover new ideas and new ways of working with CSS and standards based markup. 640 Australia Full day workshops.
