Session Name:

When Intuition and Experience are NOT Enough: Perspectives on Teaching Students Advanced User Research Methods to Create Winning Designs

Overview:

This panel brings together experts from three universities to present and discuss advanced best practices for teaching students user research techniques. Each panelist will give a mini case study of an advanced tactic s/he uses, and why it is valuable to learners. These include: ethnography to inform design, design research techniques, use of research games as teaching objects, and the teaching of data analysis techniques. Then panelists and audience will engage in a lively discussion about where user research belongs in the curriculum, and how to keep students current on evolving techniques.
