Chris LaRoche: UX Fundamentals

Chris LaRoche of MIT and UXPA Boston took on the important role of introducing #neasistUX attendees to the basics of user experience fundamentals. This info was so valuable that I immediately resolved to attend more UXPA Boston events -- meetups, Saturday workshops, and their annual conference in May.

Check out Chris's slides! This deck is one-stop shopping for getting started with User Experience. You'll get industry jargon explained, a big-picture view of how the UX field developed and where it's going now, and important insights into online pokies user experience in terms of research, design, and evaluation. You'll also see great resources for deepening your UX knowledge, including the Usability Book of Knowledge and a book on my to-read list, Dan Norman's The Design of Everyday Things.

If you're trying to remember the details from the UXPA salary survey (hint: lucrative!), view these slides.

If you're planning how to sell your administration and stakeholders on investing more in user experience design and testing, view these slides.

If you're kicking yourself for missing #neasistUX, definitely view these slides!
