Research, Resources and Rumors: A Roundup of Recent Usability Revelations

Lyle Kantrovich will review recent research and publications related to usability and user-centered design. The presentation will provide a high-level overview of notable research, articles and other resources you might have missed in the last year.

If you'd like to learn about new findings from web usability tests, developing "best practices", or significant research sources, be sure to attend. If your work involves promoting or selling user-centered design, you'll hear information you can use to help convince clients that UCD can help them be more successful. There will also be ample time for discussion of the topics presented.

Lyle's presentation is available in a PDF file.
