Web Directions Year round learning for product, design and engineering professionals

Last year the usability community very cleverly started “World Usability Day” to promote the profession, practice, and importance of usability. This year, WUD is next week, November 14th, and Events are planned around the world, including in Sydney, at the State Library.

The focus is communicating ways of improving the user experience of products and services.

The program includes:

• The benefits of including usability when designing products and services;
• Microsoft’s usability strategy for Office 2007;
• Mobile phone usability and the opportunities for the future; and
• A demonstration of how vision impaired users experience the web and how it can be improved.

This event also provides an opportunity to talk to professionals and learn more about developments in usability.
