Usability Barcamp

I took a break from the preparation to move house to attend Wellington’s first Usability Barcamp today.

The sessions I attended (and took part in) were:

1. Hot to employ and retain usability professionals
2. A usability professional needs to look at wider processes
3. Usability in the wider world, not just the web space
4. Goal-directed design
5. Design consequences
6. Remote user testing
7. User-centred design in a physical world
8. How to stop acceptance of ‘usable enough’
9. Overcoming procrastination
10. Ideas to help Sahana

I have lots of references to follow up.

Unfortunately, due to the move preparation, I didn’t attend the after-drinks at the Southern Cross.

Thanks to all those attending for a great barcamp, Kat for organising it, and to the sponsors for all their support.
