1, 2, 3 for Better Mobile Design

Steven Hoober

If you work on a team without sufficient time or resources and need to do design thinking outside your official role yourself, this workshop can help. There are roles in the workshop for product owners, information architects, interaction designers, content managers, UI/visual designers and developers. In this course, you’ll discover: The way digital products really work; layering, the stack and back Proven UX design tools to get to the new needs of users, and how to think about exploiting new technologies A brief history of design; how Swiss Modernism is what we mean by flat today Designing by zones; touch accuracy and touch preference regions are not what you think How to conquer Blank Page Syndrome by designing interfaces using mobile OS navigation patterns The overlap between technology and use, including how people use different devices in different contexts at different times of the day Design considerations unique to mobile, including features and sensors that aren’t available on desktop applications Problems of poor connectivity, and how to plan for them; it’s not just “airplane mode” How to create task flows that account for the user and the system all as one

UX for Mobile with Steven Hoober at Pointworks Academy

Steven Hoober

Everything we design and build exists as a part of an ecosystem, the physical and digital environment in which the user perceives and uses it. Though we should always have been designing like this, your connected city, home and wearable devices give us an excuse to think specifically about the use and technology to make it work best. This session will discuss and demonstrate how to use proven UX design tools to get to the new needs of users, and how to think about exploiting new technologies. Participants will work as teams to create new product ideas, and develop them into workable services by using technology and considering the user, their needs, and their environment. Presented at UXPA-China UserFriendly 2016 in Suzhou, 17 November 2016.

Designing Ecosystems, Not Just Apps

Steven Hoober

Today’s world is full of open, and airy, beautiful, tediously identical, and unusable designs. Trends shouldn’t be taken too far, and we can easily make modern interfaces that work. But being authentically digital doesn’t just mean removing gradients and woodgrains. In this workshop we’ll discuss principles, define how to make interfaces that work for real people in the real world, and redesign design your website, mobile app or other interface how people expect their various devices to work for them. Presented at UXPA-China UserFriendly 2016 in Suzhou, 19 November 2016.

Flatly Authentic Digital Design

Steven Hoober

A session at Society for Technical Communication (STC) Summit 2015 Tuesday 23rd June, 2015 9:45am to 10:30am We like to think phones are flat slabs of glass our users touch, but it's not entirely true. Everything we design and build exists as a part of an ecosystem, the physical and digital environment in which the user perceives and uses it. Though we should always have been designing like this, multi-screening, smart homes and wearable devices give us an excuse to think specifically about the real ways people work. We'll discuss how to use technology to build products and services—not just apps and websites—for your business and users. We will apply this with a brief exercise, so bring along a current or recently-completed project, or a favorite (or least favorite) tool you use day to day to work on.

Phones Aren’t Flat: Designing for People, Data & Ecosystems

Steven Hoober

Presented at MoDevUX on 23 March 2015 Everything we design and build exists as a part of an ecosystem, the physical and digital environment in which the user perceives and uses it. Though we should always have been designing like this, the ubiquity of mobile smart devices, connected cities, smart homes and the flood of wearables give us an excuse to think specifically about the real use cases and how to pick the right technology to meet opportunities for your organization and your users. In this 3-hour workshop, we will discuss how to use existing, well-proven UX design tools and methods to get to the new needs of users, and how to think about exploiting new technologies in the best possible way. Participants will work together to design connected digital products through a series of engaging team exercises.

But despite this we still forget the user. Fingers and thumbs take up space, and cover the screen. Corners of screens have different accuracy than the center. It's time to re-evaluate what we think we know. Steven reviews his ongoing research into how people actually interact with mobile devices, presents some new ideas on how we can design to avoid errors and take advantage of this new knowledge, and leaves you with 10 (relatively) simple steps to improve your touchscreen designs tomorrow.

How People Really Hold and Touch (their Phones)

Steven Hoober

Presented at ConveyUX in Seattle, 7 Feb 2014 There is a gap between the most discussed and trendy practices in design, and the way many UX professional do their work. Sketching in the browser is fine for those who only design websites (and have a coding background) but what about apps, messaging, services and systems? In this workshop Steven will outline some of the basic principles of good tools, and demonstrate with simple hands-on exercises how to use your existing software, and other simple techniques to design for multiple screen sizes, multiple contexts and every platform. You will learn: - How to consider scale, and really understand portability and touch. - Design with adaptive and responsive needs in mind. - Specifying design, so UX speaks the language of implementation. - Service and systems design techniques. - Quick techniques to assure that your designs will work in context.

Getting Good UX Into Mobile

Steven Hoober

Presented 6 & 8 January, 2013 at Kauffman Labs, Kansas City, Missouri Many big, successful companies hire User Experience experts to help analyze and design the system from the user's point of view, and assure their users can use their digital products. But assuming you can't hire one of those yet, Steven Hoober will teach you a little about how to embed the principles of UX into everything you do, every day, and how to improve tasks you are already doing to better guarantee the right outcomes. There will be a focus on mobile and multi-channel experiences, but the principles willapply to any digital platform. Whether you are trying to just improve the website for your product, or create an all-new, all-digital experience, come — and bring your whole team — to put these principles into practice. Jan 6th, 6pm-8pm What is UX, why it's not just colors and fonts, and why designing for experience matters. Understanding your audience, their goals, and yours. Ecosystem design. A website is not a digital strategy: finding what your experience strategy is. Jan 8th, 6pm-8pm Formalizing baseline analysis with heuristic evaluations. Tactics for discount usability testing in a multi-device world. What you should bring: Paper Ticket for the class Something to work on. I will provide you with a fake project for the exercises, but if you are willing to let others see your idea, or some subset or faked version of it, then go ahead. Your whole team. We will mix and match and you can meet new people, but bring everyone in your company or department if they have the time. If you want, your actual team can be a workshop team so you get used to the tactics being taught.

Entrepreneurial User Experience: Improving your products on a shoestring

Steven Hoober

Presented 12 December 2013 at MoDevEast13 We are finally starting to think about how touchscreen devices really work, and design proper sized targets, think about touch as different from mouse selection, and to create common gesture libraries. But despite this we still forget the user. Fingers and thumbs take up space, and cover the screen. Corners of screens have different accuracy than the center. It's time to re-evaluate what we think we know. Steven will review the current state of research on how people actually interact with mobile devices, present some new alternative ideas on how we can design to avoid errors and take advantage of this knowledge, and review work you bring so we can all come up with ways to improve real world sites and apps today.

Design for Fingers, Thumbs & People

Steven Hoober

Presented at DevLearn 2013, 24 October 2013, Las Vegas Every platform offers unique challenges and opportunities. As mobile becomes the preferred platform, you have to address what makes it work well to assure success, satisfaction, and maybe delight. And it’s a lot more than size and touch. Mobile and desktop are very different in their principles and in the way people use them. Learn about the pitfalls and fallacies of designing for mobile and multi-platform, multi-user experiences.

Mobile Design: Adding Mobile to Your Learning Ecosystem

Steven Hoober

The desktop web has all but ruined the practice of interaction design and information architecture by the assumptions about technology and user attention, and a rigid adherence to page-based design. Mobile is different and is exposing these problems more than any other digital system. We cannot gloss over bad design anymore because it can make or break your whole organization. Many organizations, even if they address the design or user experience head on, are built to work on the desktop Web so they are having trouble really embracing mobile at the tactical level, even if their leaders set goals and objectives to do so. During this session, participants will discuss the pitfalls and fallacies of designing for mobile and multi-platforms. You’ll learn principles and tactics for building multi-user, multi-platform experiences and you’ll learn by attempting to improve an example project. This will give guidelines for how to meet user goals, needs, and expectations in all your platforms. In this session, you will learn: How to recognize and avoid pitfalls in your project development, UX design, and development practices To design your digital products as universal, extensible services and ecosystems The principles of resilience design, and how to design robust systems that function and satisfy even when mistakes occur How to branch design to address platform-specific features, capabilities, and expectations

The Trouble with All Those Boxes: Designing for Ecosystems Instead of Screens

Steven Hoober

Presented as a workshop at MoDevUX 2013 in McLean, Virginia, 9 May 2013 The desktop web has all but ruined the practice of interaction design and information architecture by assumptions about technology and user attention, and rigid adherence to page-based design. If you are paying attention to what your users expect, you'll note that mobile is really exposing these problems. And it's just getting more complex as we have to make our digital products work on TVs and set top boxes, kiosks, and now think of interfaceless devices. Steven will discuss pitfalls and fallacies of designing for mobile, and for multi-platform, multi-user experiences. Then we will all try out some principles and tactics to solve these on examples, and discuss ways they can be applied to your organization.

How successful strategies involve focusing on and embracing complexity, fragmentation and unpredictability of the way users employ mobile digital and especially mobile systems. BE SURE TO READ THE NOTES attached to each slide. The slides themselves are mostly pretty pictures, so won't make a lot of sense.

Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/why-teams-call-analytics-is-critical-to-your-entire-business Nothing is as frustrating and noticeable as being in an important call and being unable to see or hear the other person. Not surprising then, that issues with Teams calls are among the most common problems users call their helpdesk for. Having in depth insight into everything relevant going on at the user’s device, local network, ISP and Microsoft itself during the call is crucial for good Microsoft Teams Call quality support. To ensure a quick and adequate solution and to ensure your users get the most out of their Microsoft 365. But did you know that ‘bad calls’ are also an excellent indicator of other problems arising? Precisely because it is so noticeable!? Like the canary in the mine, bad calls can be early indicators of problems. Problems that might otherwise not have been noticed for a while but can have a big impact on productivity and satisfaction. Join this session by Christoph Adler to learn how true Microsoft Teams call quality analytics helped other organizations troubleshoot bad calls and identify and fix problems that impacted Teams calls or the use of Microsoft365 in general. See what it can do to keep your users happy and productive! In this session we will cover - Why CQD data alone is not enough to troubleshoot call problems - The importance of attributing call problems to the right call participant - What call quality analytics can do to help you quickly find, fix-, and prevent problems - Why having retrospective detailed insights matters - Real life examples of how others have used Microsoft Teams call quality monitoring to problem shoot problems with their ISP, network, device health and more.

The presentation explores the development and application of artificial intelligence (AI) from its inception to its current status in the modern world. The term "artificial intelligence" was first coined by John McCarthy in 1956 to describe efforts to develop computer programs capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence. This concept was first introduced at a conference held at Dartmouth College, where programs demonstrated capabilities such as playing chess, proving theorems, and interpreting texts. In the early stages, Alan Turing contributed to the field by defining intelligence as the ability of a being to respond to certain questions intelligently, proposing what is now known as the Turing Test to evaluate the presence of intelligent behavior in machines. As the decades progressed, AI evolved significantly. The 1980s focused on machine learning, teaching computers to learn from data, leading to the development of models that could improve their performance based on their experiences. The 1990s and 2000s saw further advances in algorithms and computational power, which allowed for more sophisticated data analysis techniques, including data mining. By the 2010s, the proliferation of big data and the refinement of deep learning techniques enabled AI to become mainstream. Notable milestones included the success of Google's AlphaGo and advancements in autonomous vehicles by companies like Tesla and Waymo. A major theme of the presentation is the application of generative AI, which has been used for tasks such as natural language text generation, translation, and question answering. Generative AI uses large datasets to train models that can then produce new, coherent pieces of text or other media. The presentation also discusses the ethical implications and the need for regulation in AI, highlighting issues such as privacy, bias, and the potential for misuse. These concerns have prompted calls for comprehensive regulations to ensure the safe and equitable use of AI technologies. Artificial intelligence has also played a significant role in healthcare, particularly highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic, where it was used in drug discovery, vaccine development, and analyzing the spread of the virus. The capabilities of AI in healthcare are vast, ranging from medical diagnostics to personalized medicine, demonstrating the technology's potential to revolutionize fields beyond just technical or consumer applications. In conclusion, AI continues to be a rapidly evolving field with significant implications for various aspects of society. The development from theoretical concepts to real-world applications illustrates both the potential benefits and the challenges that come with integrating advanced technologies into everyday life. The ongoing discussion about AI ethics and regulation underscores the importance of managing these technologies responsibly to maximize their their benefits while minimizing potential harms.
