Computing for the Optimal User Experience
“Insights and inspiration for the user experience community”
This is a collection of insightful articles on all aspects of UX, including Research, Design, Accessibility, Strategy and Development. There are a wide variety of authors including or linking to some of the most credible people in the UX field. This is a very good place to explore current topics and thinking in UX.
The portal for the Interaction Design Association.
“The Interaction Design Association (IxDA) is a member-supported organization dedicated to the discipline of interaction design. Since its launch in 2003, IxDA has grown into a global network of more than 100,000 individuals and over 200 local groups, focusing on interaction design issues for the practitioner, no matter their level of experience.”
There are a large number of local IXDA groups around the world, including London.
A comprehensive list of UX and design conferences and events around the world.
A valuable online resource for UX practitioners. The site is active with information about events, good practice and helpful tips.
The Interaction Design Foundation is a very interesting source of information about various aspects of interaction design and user experience. Contributors include, for example, Don Norman. Although the site promotes the courses offered by the foundation, it also is a portal to other published resources and community forums.
This seems to be the largest UX interest group on LinkedIN, and it has the an associated blog with some useful articles on it. Is anyone else a member and have you found anything particularly useful from this group?
If you will like to find out more about this programme and would like to discuss it with staff you would be welcome to come to the open day being held in the evening of the 20th March. You can show up on the day but even better would be to book a place using the Open Day Booking Form. We will be presenting the UX Engineering Masters Programme and there will also be presentations about the other MSc and MA Computing programmes throughout the evening.
Nielsen Norman Group are organising a set of training sessions as the London UX Conference from March 30 – April 5 2019
Check out the Mobile UX 2019 conference which is planned to take place on 21st November at De Vere West One 9 – 10 Portland Place, W1B 1PR. I attended the 2017 conference. It was quite small, with only a few things happening in parallel. It gave a good insight into the perspective that industry and commerce have of UX and what they need. A key take home was that good research and analytics skills are critical for UX professionals.
Definitely recommended.
