Speaker: Shane Lovellette\, Morae and UserVue Product Manager - Techsmith When you think of TechSmith Morae\, you probably think of testing things on a computer screen—like a software application or Web site. But what about testing the iPhone user's experience? Could Morae speed up and simplify a whole range of testing methods\, from paper prototyping to in-depth interviews to focus groups? Could it enable unmoderated testing? The Morae development team is hard at work to support all these methods and approaches! In this session\, we'll pull back the curtain to give you a peek at what's coming...and demonstrate specific use scenarios. We hope you can join us! Shane Lovellette\, the creator of Morae and UserVue\, will be here from TechSmith to give us a demo and explain the benefits of using the new version of Morae and UserVue for conducting\, recording\, observing\, analyzing\, and presenting the results of in-person and remote user research tests. When: Wednesday\, May 21st Refreshments & Networking: 6-7:00 PM – Food & beverages will be provided. Meeting: 7:00 PM – 8ish Where: Chordiant Software\, Inc. 8 Commerce Drive Bedford\, NH 03110 Google map: http://tinyurl.com/43le9t Summary: The demo will cover how to: collect local and remote test session data\, observe test sessions in local and remote environments\, and analyze test sessions with the advanced analytical capabilities of the new v. 3.0 of Morae Manager (not out yet!) and UserVue. We will learn about automated and aggregated usability metric analysis\, graphing and reporting\, as well as creating video highlight presentations. For those of you who already use Morae and UserVue\, Shane will answer any questions you have about the products and give us all a demo of the new version of Morae 3.

IA provides a rich toolbox of techniques and frameworks to ensure that websites and intranets are structured in a way that makes sense to users. Key skills such as card sorting will be taught\, and this workshop is designed to build in-house information architecture skills. A must for all web or intranet teams. At the end of the day you will be ready to tackle the information architecture\, navigation and page layouts for a small to medium site or part of a larger site. During the workshop\, you will learn: + the importance of balancing the requirements of users and business + techniques to gather information about the needs of your audience + the meaning behind commonly used IA jargon + ways that information can be organised + how to create a taxonomy for your site + the importance of good labelling to help people find what they need + how to design navigation methods and page layouts + processes to follow for IA projects *Who is this workshop for?* When redesigning (or designing) a website or intranet\, it is critical that users be able to easily find what they want on the new site. This does not happen by chance. Best practice information architecture techniques should be followed to ensure that the desired project outcomes are actually achieved. IA should therefore be core knowledge for all web and intranet teams. This workshop provides the foundation for building these skills in-house within organisations. It also provides the knowledge required to better manage consultants or contractors who have been engaged to conduct this work on the site. Please note\, this is a introductory workshop designed to build core skills\, and is not suitable for intermediate or experienced practitioners. *About the presenter* Patrick Kennedy is a senior consultant in Step Two Designs\, and has over ten years of experience in the digital media and web industry. He has in-depth expertise in best practice web design and development\, usability\, information architecture\, user research and strategy. Patrick has provided user-experience consultancy for many public and private sector organisations both in Australia and the United Kingdom. Patrick will draw examples from real-world projects to give insight into addressing common challenges and issues. This practical approach will ensure that all participants gain information that can be used back in the workplace. Patrick holds a nationally recognised training qualification (Certificate IV in Assessment and Training)\, and is steadily bringing this workshop to all corners of Australia.
