[IxDA Discuss] UX Workshop - skills, professional development and competency
UX Competency Framework Workshop, BCS Offices, Southampton St, London February 25th, 2010 User Experience (UX) is an encompassing term covering a range of disciplines from IT, Ergonomics, Usability, Marketing and Communications. It is most commonly used in the context of the usability of IT systems. Fully addressing UX requires consideration of a product's impact on its users at all stages in its lifecycle, including the marketing, packaging, training, introduction, support and disposal, and has an impact on the scope and management of product development projects. It is therefore difficult to say what a UX professional does, and to define the skills and training required to truly call oneself a UX professional. This workshop will examine such issues as: - What does industry need from UX professionals? - What are the skills and training required for UX professionals? - What are the levels at which UX professionals operate? - What existing skills frameworks in the contributing disciplines can we call on? - How do we work with the stakeholders, employers, professional bodies, academics, training bodies to develop, disseminate and assess UX skills? We call on existing practitioners and researchers in this area to submit 4-6 page position papers on one or more of the above topics. Position papers will be presented in short talks in the morning of the event, followed by focused discussions in the afternoon and a UX Job Fair in the early evening. Papers should be submitted to Tom McEwan, t.mce...@napier.ac.uk by 8th January 2010.

[IxDA Discuss] Conference - Design for Engagement - Call for contributors
Dear all, Organising is underway for the fourth International Design for Engagement Conference to be held in the Autumn of this year. This year the conference will be take place on 19th October and is part of the NordiCHI Workshop programme at Lund in Sweden. The conference will again be a one day event featuring peer reviewed presentations, talks, demos and innovative modes of communication relevant to designing engaging products, services and experiences. In fact, anything engaging and relevant will be considered if appropriate to the audience. The format of submissions will be slightly different than in other years with timed slots being made available of between fifteen and thirty minutes rather than fixed presentations of papers. Slots can be used in a variety of ways including, but not limited to, exhibiting demos, making presentations, giving talks and interacting with the audience. The proceedings will reflect this diversity of deliverables by publishing traditional papers as well as photos, graphics, reports and text reflecting the presented work.The following topics and application of technology are indicative of the types of subjects that are particularly relevant to the conference.
