<br>I thought I'd ask the group:
<br><br>How "high-touch" is the interaction design discipline?
<br><br>In other words, when I build web development teams, I often find that
<br>my back-end developers can work remotely, almost as much as they want,
<br>as long as I have one or two local senior developers for strategy
<br>meetings.
<br><br>On the other hand, I usually need my own designer and usability folks
<br>really close at hand, and work-at-home days for them are usually few
<br>and far between. I'd LOVE to be a telecommuting designer, but would
<br>have a hard time hiring someone for such a collaborative role.
<br><br>I ask because I get a lot of offers for very short-term positions some
<br>five states away, and would love to telecommute, but I know that I
<br>would have a hard time swallowing that pill as the hiring manager, so
<br>I don't blame others for turning away remote designers. NYC companies
<br>seem to have made this a big point in their job postings, f'rinstance.
<br><br>Flipping the question around, with all of the smart "virtual
<br>collaboration tools" lying around, what are we missing, in order to
<br>make telecommuting a realistic possibility for our profession?
<br>Nothing on the market seems to affordably provide that tactile sense
<br>of "we're working together" as much as just sitting next to each other
<br>in an office.
<br><br>Apologies if this is off-topic...

<br>Selection-dependent inputs are, in essence, a pretty simple concept:
<br>Once a user initially makes a selection from one or more options in a
<br>form, the user must provide additional input related to the selected
<br>option before submitting the form.
<br><br>Bout three years ago, I laid out a series of solutions for these with
<br>the pros/cons I had seen across a myriad of implementations:
<br><a href="http://www.uxmatters.com/mt/archives/2007/02/selection-dependent-inputs.php" target="_top" rel="nofollow">http://www.uxmatters.com/mt/archives/2007/02/selection-dependent-inputs.php</a><br><br>In Web Form Design, we tested these against each other. There's a
<br>whole chapter on the results. We actually found something different
<br>than Caroline in the usability test she mentioned. Our participants
<br>(and other tests I was part of before) showed that hiding irrelevant
<br>form controls from people until they need them results in forms that
<br>are easy on the eyes and completed quite quickly.
<br><br>That said there is a lot of nuance in how to display the interactions.
<br>Interestingly Apple recently updated their checkout to use the
<br>horizontal tabs model of selection-dependent inputs: <a href="http://www.lukew.com/ff/entry.asp?968" target="_top" rel="nofollow">http://www.lukew.com/ff/entry.asp?968</a><br><br>And I suspect they are experiencing some questions around mutual
<br>exclusivity. From my testing:
<br>Vertical and horizontal tabs actually perform quite well in all-around
<br>usability, satisfaction, and eye-tracking metrics but come with the
<br>gnarly problem of mutual exclusivity. I’ve gotten conflicting data on
<br>which of these options resolves this issue so they both seem to be
<br>stuck with it. If you can get around mutual exclusivity through clever
<br>interaction or visual design, good performance is yours to be had with
<br>these solutions.
<br><br>There some solutions for that listed here:
<br><a href="http://www.lukew.com/ff/entry.asp?764" target="_top" rel="nofollow">http://www.lukew.com/ff/entry.asp?764</a><br><a href="http://uipatternfactory.com/p=stacked-tabs/" target="_top" rel="nofollow">http://uipatternfactory.com/p=stacked-tabs/</a><br><a href="http://www.lukew.com/ff/entry.asp?505" target="_top" rel="nofollow">http://www.lukew.com/ff/entry.asp?505</a><br><br>hope this helps? thnx.

<br>> I think of it more as an indicator that companies are realizing that the

<br>been delaying so far but the skill sets in demand are becoming extremely
<br>specific. Companies do not want an interaction designer with 5-10 years of
<br>experience any more. They want people with specific experience in financial
<br>industry or desktop applications or mobile applications or whatever their
<br>business is so they don't have to invest in the person to learn.
<br>Economic indicators are still saying very slow recovery atleast until June
<br>of 2010 is what I am hearing.

<br>indicator as I don't think we were hit that hard.
<br><br>Keep in mind in the last economic crisis, the dot com crash, we were front
<br>and center and a fairly good indicator of tech sector life. Considering
<br>this, we are probably a weaker indicator now as we're a fringe part of the
<br>crisis and work force.

<br><br>I buy that.
<br><br>> Do you think that is an indicator of a better economy coming?
<br><br>Not necessarily. The web sector is growing and maturing and our skills
<br>are in demand, but web-based models may be popular because they're so
<br>much more productive. Those who work in the classifieds business
<br>probably don't think the rise of Craigslist is good for the economy.
<br>This is what they call "creative destruction", right? I wouldn't
<br>expect trends in our industry to necessarily map to the larger
<br>economy.

<br>execute projects that were already in the pipeline when the economy
<br>came to a halt last October. This Movement, while encouraging, may
<br>not represent Growth or Innovation which leads to sustained job
<br>growth. We'll have to wait to see if the execution of already
<br>established projects mean that companies are moving ahead on the
<br>status quo strategies already established or, if new R&D funding is
<br>also in the works.
<br><br>While there does seem to be more need for new talent, many of the
<br>postings I've seen are for contract, intern, consulting, and
<br>positions located Abroad. -- Goldman Sachs is hiring because it
<br>became a depository last year and was able to buy small banks with
<br>strong depositories on-the-cheap and now need to unify these
<br>businesses -- All good but not long lasting with regard to long-term
<br>job growth -- unification of like entities creates redundancies in
<br>resources that inevitably leads to consolidation and job eliminations
<br>across an enterprise.

Most hotel websites try to get fancy
<br>with lots of circulating pictures or quick video clips, and I find it
<br>very distracting. I like how Marriott's website is simple and
<br>directly supports the goal of simply wanting to book a hotel room
<br>without anything getting in the way or drawing your attention away
<br>from the task at hand.
<br><br>However, I think the homepage would be more successful if the menu
<br>rotated around in a circle instead of just moving up and down. That
<br>way, when you chose a different section of the site, let's say
<br>Packages, the Packages section of the menu would come forward and
<br>then you could see the featured package or 2 of the day.

<br>they need to look at the best way to move their business forward.

<br>i need some practical suggestion about UX consistency.Recently,our
<br>team plans to formulate a hierarchy UX guideline to coordinate UX
<br>consistency for our company ,which processes 5 different ERP software
<br>product of sharply different UI &interaction pattern.
<br><br>Those days,i draft a plan ,but still struggle of some items above:
<br><br>#1:How to hierarchically specify UX consistency ?I try the two
<br>classifications above, but not very sure about them :
<br><br>classification1:
<br> *layout
<br> *UI element
<br> *speech
<br> *visual appearance
<br> *interaction behavior
<br> *typical interaction scenario
<br><br>classification2 :
<br> *UI apprearance
<br> *Interaction behavior
<br> *Speech
<br> *Feedback
<br> *Shortcut key
<br> *Help
<br>I wonder which classification is more logical£¿

<br>rather than making a given task (page) longer with expanded questions
<br>in-line.
<br><br>Their design is usable (to me) because it doesn't try to keep track of which
<br>questions tie back to previous answers. The process just gets a little bit
<br>longer. The wording on follow-up questions is suggestive of the answer that
<br>produced it, but they don't try to force the UI to say "Following up from
<br>question 3, 12 pages back, here are some more questions:" They just present
<br>you with a well-designed page that treats the topic in its own right,
<br>without extra crud used to reinforce the arbitrary process flow.
<br><br>That is, I would go with asking the detailed questions later, but I wouldn't
<br>try to ensure people could tell which answers spawned the new questions.
<br>Just make sure they know they're coming, have a general idea (or specific,
<br>if possible) of how much longer it will take (especially as/if that changes
<br>during the process), and let each page be usable in its own right.
<br><br>I follow this pattern with my current project, wherein users must complete
<br>several independent forms in sequence, some of which change depending on
<br>previous responses. I have found while observing users, that it is more
<br>important to make the current page clear and usable, than to make sure they
<br>knew why they had extra questions to answer.
<br><br>Oh yeah, I believe TurboTax also provides an alternate "site map" while the
<br>process unfolds, so you can see new forms as they appear, and jump around to
<br>change the process, mid-flight. Might be helpful for your purposes, as it's
<br>available off to the side, but not really "in your face".

<br>Subject: Re: [IxDA Discuss] Long Online Application and Chunking with
<br>Several Pages
<br><br>Your description of the project reminded me of TurboTax's online tax
<br>forms. I use that service faithfully every year, and there are a
<br>million questions (which will display more questions depending on how
<br>you answer). I'm sure they struggled with not being allowed to cut
<br>questions also. They have organized the forms in a way that in not
<br>intimidating. As I said, I faithfully come back year after year
<br>because the process is faster and less painful then paper.
<br><br>I don't recall exactly how they have the parent/child questions set
<br>up. I want to say it differs depending on the number of questions.
<br>For example: If a parent question leads to 2 or 3 child questions,
<br>then those are displayed under the parent. If the parent questions
<br>leads to more than 4 or more child questions, those are moved to a
<br>new page where the parent question becomes the main heading.
<br><br>In any case, their strategy works well. It might be a model worth
<br>investigating. Good luck!

<br><br>> Have you read Luke Wroblewski's Web Form Design?
<br>> <a href="http://is.gd/5riHR" target="_top" rel="nofollow">http://is.gd/5riHR</a><br><br>Yes, I have (I contributed a 'perspective' to it) and although he does touch
<br>on the question of how to split up a long form such as Don is struggling
<br>with, he deals with it in half a page and doesn't address Don's specific
<br>question.
<br><br>I've got a bit more detail in my book ("Forms that work: Designing web forms
<br>for usability" www.formsthatwork.com) in that the chapter 'Making the form
<br>flow easily' is mostly about the challenge of splitting up long forms. But I
<br>have to admit, it's still only 10 pages. (We were trying very hard to keep
<br>the book short).
<br><br>I've got a short article online ("Long forms: Scroll or tab?"
<br><a href="http://www.usabilitynews.com/news/article2352.asp" target="_top" rel="nofollow">http://www.usabilitynews.com/news/article2352.asp</a>)
<br><br>So now to some real advice.
<br><br>In the book, we mention a result from usability testing which is that users
<br>don't like it when the page suddenly changes on them. For example, you're
<br>typing along answering what looks like (say) a series of 10 questions. You
<br>stick in the answer to question 2, and bingo the darned computer suddenly
<br>changes the page to throw another three or four questions at you. Not a
<br>pleasant experience. I'll go along with your convention of calling the
<br>questions like question 2 'parent questions' and the ones that appear
<br>according to your answer 'reflexive questions'.
<br><br>So if you want to go with the 'expand the page' option, I recommend that you
<br>include some sort of button or other indicator to show the user that
<br>question 2 has this possibility built in.
<br><br>Example: in the UK, the standard method of obtaining a user's address is to
<br>ask for postcode and then expand the page to deal with the address. This
<br>works very nicely if the box for getting postcode then has a button next to
<br>it called 'look up address' or something like that. Clicking the button says
<br>to the computer 'do something for me now' and sets the user up to expect
<br>some extra questions.
<br><br>This may or may not be possible to do on your form: you'll have to look at
<br>the wordings for the parent questions and the reflexive questions to see
<br>whether you can write the appropriate commands.
<br><br>Another approach, which we call 'pre-build', is to ask the parent questions
<br>on one page (one of the approaches that you're considering) and then build
<br>pages of reflexive questions. This can work quite nicely, given good
<br>explanations, and especially if its used in tandem with what we call a
<br>'summary menu' i.e. a mini-menu that allows users to fill in the pages in
<br>whatever order they wish and to track their progress on the different pages.
<br>I think this is evidence in your favour in your discussion.
<br><br>(Summary menus are a good idea for any long or complex form, as users are
<br>likely to require more than one session to complete them).
<br><br>So all of this was a long way of saying: it depends on the specifics of the
<br>questions, the writing around them, and the details of the implementation.
<br>It might help you to convince your underwriters if you can persuade them to
<br>divulge exactly why they are asking the different questions so that you can
<br>then explain those reasons to the users rather than just firing a long,
<br>complex, and apparently random series of questions at them.
<br><br>Hope this helps

<br><br>I'm designing a very long online application for a financial product which spans across several pages. There are some sections which may possibly show a great deal of additional (reflexive) questions for certain scenarios.
<br><br>For instance, on a page with 10 questions, the way questions 2, 3, 6, and 7 are answered may then show an additional 10-15 questions for each. Originally, I was going to display the reflexive questions under each parent question. However, I think it may intimidate the user and cause them to abandon. Therefore, we proposed a solution where the parent questions would be answered on the first page, and then subsequent pages would get the follow-up details. However, some colleagues aren't quite buying it. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, there isn't time to test. Does anyone know where I can find some studies or articles that may help my argument?
<br><br>P.S. - The answer isn't "reduce the amount of questions". Underwriters won't let us.
<br><br>Thanks.
<br><br>Don

<br>can tell you that this change isn't significant at all. My bets would
<br>be that few, if any non-designer users, would notice the change. I'm
<br>also betting that it has very little effect on customer brand
<br>engagement, because, in our research brand engagement comes from total

<br><br>Show me proof. I've got lots of data that says that is unlikely.
<br><br>Don't get me wrong. It's a neat design with cool moving parts. But, if
<br>you look at the total experience that a Marriott customer has
<br>(particularly biz travelers), this one page (which is the only snazzy
<br>part of the redesign) is truly insignificant.
<br><br>If you want to look at pages that will have an impact, I'd look at the
<br>subsequent two pages: the search results page and the property details
<br>page. Travel shoppers spend more than 10 times as much time and energy
<br>on those pages in a given session than they do on the home page.
<br>That's where the meat of the online portion of the experience is.
<br><br>And it's all balanced by what happens at the property. If the hotel
<br>stay is great, it doesn't matter what the web site experience was -
<br>brand engagement will strengthen. And if the hotel stay is crappy,
<br>brand engagement will weaken, no matter how slick the online booking
<br>experience was.
<br><br>So, if Marriott is looking to move out of a commodity viewpoint,
<br>particularly with frequent travelers, the home page is the least
<br>likely way that will happen.
<br><br>> Of course I'll never know how the design has affected key
<br>> performance metrics. But I am assuming that Marriott wouldn't launch
<br>> this design without a good amount of A/B/multi testing, so they must

<br><br>Be careful what you assume. That's all I can say at this time.

If a parent question has a small
<br>amount of child q's we'll show them right there. However, if it's
<br>a significant amount, then those will be on a later page.
<br><br>Thanks.

Page 28 begins to address this. The application will
<br>definitely be broken out across several pages. It's more the
<br>question of whether this is the best approach:
<br><br>(follow-up page)
<br> "Earlier you've indicated that you have xxxxx. We're now going
<br>to ask you some further questions about your xxxxx."
<br><br>Sure, we can ask about "xxxxx" right away, but by seeing all of
<br>those questions earlier may be intimidating and lead the user to
<br>think that every single question will require this much effort, when
<br>that's really not the case.
