Description
Learn how to carry out one of the most in-demand user experience techniques - the Usability Expert Review.
Knowing how to competently carry out an expert review is a skill that should be in every UX consultant's toolbox.
Expert reviews are a great way to identify "usability bloopers" with a product or web site. They are quick, cost-effective and provide an immediate sanity check for the design. Expert reviews are also an ideal way to ensure that a product or web site will meet usability standards.
But many people find it difficult to identify specific usability issues from generic usability heuristics. Beginners also find it hard to derive action-oriented recommendations that can be passed to the design team.
This seminar reveals the practitioner secrets behind expert reviews and will teach you how to think like a usability expert.
