October 12, 2007: Second Annual Usability Conference Presentation Title: WIKI Platforms for Collaboration: When Convenient Access and Ease of Use Are Not Enough /http://www.upa-dc-metro.org/conference/2007/documents/shelton_bangiolo.pdf Authors: Renate Roske-Shelton and Lois Bangiolo (3QBC)
- Abstract: Wiki spaces for idea and knowledge work originated with the purpose of providing users with a “quick” tools interface to minimize new learning and enable easy writing contributions and file postings. Their early promise has not always been fulfilled as expected and productive collaborative user behaviors are at best evolving very slowly. This presentation will address some “macro-usability” features which appear vital for a successful and persistent WIKI project evolution. (3O85)

Video in applied cognitive research for human-centered design Renate J. Roske-Hofstrand October 1989 ACM SIGCHI Bulletin, Volume 21 Issue 2 Publisher: ACM Press Full text available: pdf(214.66 KB) {nid 3JGV} "Video constitutes one of the most direct and contextually rich means for capturing observable behavior in human-computer interaction. However, a major shortfall of this type of visual medium lies in its failure to directly capture those aspects of user behavior that can predictably be associated with human cognition. Goal-directed cognitive user processes such as those that occur in problem-solving, decision-making, and planning activities are by their nature not subject to recording on camera." (3JH8)

Renate MISC: (3W5W)
Reminder Notes on How to Communicate Your Message (Value) - how to build a "marketing" strategy (3O81)
- Value - Qualities useful for others - determining worth through assessment - report benefits - Outcome - Impact - Influence - Significance = Better Understanding Build messages that your target can relate to using the same vocabulary and terms that others can relate to (3JHA)
- User focus is more important than ever - write a mission statement (this is essential - it should tie you into the greater scheme) - write how you contribute to your organization - do periodic needs assessment of the customer - --Example: Just in time processes; marketing needs - customized interfaces - selective information dissemination services etc. (3JHB)
- Develop a culture of assessment - prioritize outcomes (any benefit to people, processes or positive changes)- describe your value and make decisions! (3JHC)
