Amon will moderate the reading kickoff like a panel that would happen at a conference gathering - featuring speakers that come from different companies / positions / perspectives
Question for Chris and Ilya about Don Norman's Design of Everyday Things
Can each of our panelists please take a minute or two to tell the audience about you and one of the projects you work on that is related to our gathering (User Experience Design class)
A lot of time in UX research is spent discovering the best ways to communicate the affordances of a system to a potential user as quickly, cheaply, and intuitively as possible. Can you each please give an example of when you attempted to speak the language of the user in a feature you were designing but came to realize that you had to substantially rework how you presented that affordance?
What have been some times when you had clear signals from users that a system or feature you released or tested had too much of a gulf of execution or gulf of evaluation? How did you go about trying to shrink the gulf that you noticed (or what ideas are you going to try first)?
Activity: work toward Needs Analysis deliverables on the checklist.
