What technologies do you use in user research? How do you best leverage these technologies?
Austin UPA is hosting a panel discussion where we will discuss technologies such as Silverback, ClickTale, WebEx, VMware, Morae and UserVue. Their strengths and weaknesses will be covered as well as the impact they had on the research findings, with the clients, and with the designers. Come hear our panelists share their experiences, and come share your own. There will be plenty of time for open discussion. *PANELISTS* *Amy L. E.
