Making your gateway easy and pleasant to use: An introduction to usability and user-centered design
Presented by Paul Parsons, Assistant Professor in Computer Graphics Technology at Purdue University
Do you ever wonder why some websites are easy and even pleasant to use, while others are confusing and frustrating? Do you wonder how you might design and evaluate your gateway to ensure pleasantness and ease of use? This month’s webinar will provide some answers to these important questions. The webinar will introduce usability and user-centered design, will present and discuss examples of common usability problems, and will provide an overview of strategies and methods that experts use to evaluate and fix usability problems. At the end of this webinar, participants will (a) value the importance of usability and user-centered design; (b) be able to identify common usability problems; (c) appreciate various strategies for identifying and fixing common usability problems; and (d) be able to communicate with usability experts in an informed way.
Note: During the webinar, Paul recommended Steve Krug's Rocket Surgery Made Easy: The Do-It-Yourself Guide to Fiinding and Fixing Usability Problems as a valuable and easy-to-follow resource for anyone interested in learning more about usability.
