Northern User Experience

This is a free, public event – registration isn’t required

Date & Time: Monday 10th October 6.30pm – 9pm

Venue: The Bulls Head Pub, 84 London Road, Manchester M1 2PN (Opposite Piccadilly Station)

The October Manchester NUX event will take place on Monday 10th October. We’re doing something a little different for this event and having a more informal session.

Please note that the venue for this session is the Bulls Head pub and NOT our regular venue at code.

The agenda:

1. Get to know each other!

2. Show and Tell – Bring any work that you want any feedback on or want to show off

3. Planning for Future Events – Let us know if you’ve got any particular subjects you’d liked to see covered in future sessions or even want to present yourself.

The next Leeds event will be on Monday 26 September

Stephen Corbett, head of UX at NHS Connecting for Health, will demonstrate how to create a simple online questionnaire using Google Docs.

There will be a hands-on excercise, so bring your laptop with you (wifi will be provided)

There will be time for questions and discussion, including how to use surveys for usability test participant recruitment, using surveys for user research, using surveys for measuring usability – including the web usability scale.

Making UX Strategic

Is providing a good user experience central to the way your organisation operates? Or is it a “nice to have”? Do you have people you need to get on board who just don’t hear what you’re saying? Are you under pressure to do more a more with fewer resources?

“Making UX Strategic” discusses what you can do to make user experience part of your organisation’s strategy – and help make the world a slightly better place…
