Presented by Robin SmailFive years ago user experience wasn’t even a phrase in our lexicon, but now you hear it everywhere, and highered is finally taking notice. Join us and learn the fundamentals of UX design, how it overlaps with your own job duties, and how to add the skill sets necessary to make yourself more valuable at work (or even pivot into user experience yourself). We’ll work through some real world examples, learn about user research, testing, software tools, and more. You’ll leave with an understanding of the process, what tools you should have in your toolkit, and how you too can incorporate UX into your professional skill set.
