World Usability Day – 14 November
World usability day is sneaking up on us quickly. What will you be doing on Tuesday, November 14th 2006? Well, if you are in the Nottinghamshire area, why not pop on over to the University of Nottingham and attend the usability presentations that are taking place at the Jubilee Campus. (One of my favourite usability guru’s, David Travis from his London Consultancy, User Focus is speaking; so I highly recommend it!) If you want to find an event in your area pop on over to the World Usability Day website and browse the events taking place across the globe!
What is World Usability Day?
“Why doesn’t this work right? What am I supposed to do with this now?”. This is an Earth-Day-style event, focused on easy-to-use technology, which last year involved 115 events in 35 countries.
World Usability Day promotes the value of usability engineering, user-centered design, and every user’s right to ask for things that work better.
The Usability Professionals’ Association is doing that by encouraging, organizing, and sponsoring 36 hours of activities at the local level around the globe, all occurring on November 14, 2006.
