Mobile User Experience: What Web Designers Need to Know Led by one of Adaptive Path's former Mobile Design Strategist, Rachel Hinman. This forty minute virtual seminar explores the challenges faced by individuals or small groups doing UX inside organizations, and provides practical tools for working more creatively, efficiently, and collaboratively. Who is this seminar for? Until recently, the mobile internet was a crippled user experience due to product, interface and technical constraints. Recent innovations, such as iPhone, the Google Phone, and the BlackBerry Storm, are causing an inflection point for the mobile internet, enabling new and exciting opportunities for mobile user experience. The opportunity for user experience professionals to deliver on the promise of the mobile internet is ours for the taking. But how do folks who are well versed in creating PC-based internet experiences begin to engage with mobile? This seminar is designed to help web design professionals answer that question as well as: Provide insight into emergent internet trends that point to the growing importance of mobile in the evolution of the web. Identify the portable user experience and web skills you've already got that make you especially well suited for creating great mobile internet experiences. Identify key similarities and differences in designing for PC/mobile internet experiences. Provide frameworks and design principles for creating compelling mobile internet experiences. Inspire you to hop on the mobile internet wave. Designing for mobile is more than just making things fit a smaller screen. You have to take into account context, people's relationship to their objects, physicality, and a whole host of other factors. Rachel will help you engage with this increasingly important space. What will you learn? Understand how trends in the Web are prisming through other channels. Learn research techniques, design exercises and prototyping methods that will allow you to begin designing and developing mobile internet experiences with confidence. Inspire new possibilities for taking your products and services forward in 2009. You will receive a confirmation of your registration with a link to this recording.
