[Apologies for cross-posting. We're aiming to get the word out widely.]
Please join us in Berkeley, California, on October 27 for the workshop
"Using User Research" as part of the ACM's Creativity and Cognition
2009.
Using User Research is a full day workshop at CC09. The workshop will
address questions about use, role, methods and scope of user research,
and no doubt generate more questions, through gathering and exploring
case studies of user research in use, mapping best practices and
lessons learned, and stimulating a community of practitioners keen to
work together in the future to extend this initial exploratory work
and address the challenge of improving the use of user research.
Prepare a brief (500 word) "user case study" including your role, and
research results in product, service or system design. Send your case
study to
researchforcreativity@... by August 30. We are
interested in successful and unsuccessful design projects, and "good"
or "bad" examples of user research and its uses. You may be an
enthusiastic proponent of user research's contribution to design, a
skeptic or "on the fence". For inspiration, consider the conference
theme of "everyday creativity."
