UxFest London, 7-10 February 2011:  Four Days of UX, IA and UCD

James Kalbach, the author of O'Reilly's Designing Web Navigation, is joinin=
g me in presenting four days of cutting-edge courses on UX, UCD and IA in L=
ondon, starting 7 February.

The courses are:

Mon      Dynamic User Experience: Ajax Design & Usability (WH)

Tue        Agile UX & UCD (WH)

Wed      Designing Web Navigation (JK)

Thu        Faceted Search & Beyond (JK)

The Ajax Design and Usability course explains the main differences between =
Ajax and static HTML (for a non-technical audience) and looks at how to mak=
e web sites and intranets more dynamic while improving user experience and =
accessibility. Agile UX & UCD looks at how to incorporate user experience, =
usability and user-centred design into an Agile environment. It is intended=
 primarily for experienced UX practitioners, although only a limited unders=
tanding of UX is essential.

In his two courses - Designing Web Navigation and Faceted Search - O'Reilly=
 author James Kalbach covers current thinking in Information Architecture a=
nd the changing face of web navigation.

or full details and to book online.

Other courses in London and Vancouver

Following UxFest will be a two-day workshop on Persona-Driven Design <http:=
//www.syntagm.co.uk/design/personadriven.shtml> on 21 March. Participants w=
ill spend about 50% of their time making sense of user research and then de=
veloping personas and interaction designs using a variety of user-centred t=
echniques. It's suitable for a broad audience, from interaction designers a=
nd developers through to project managers and Scrum masters. In April is a =
brand new course, Ecommerce User Experience<http://www.syntagm.co.uk/design=
/ecommerceux.shtml>, based on our extensive benchmarking experience. Partic=
ipants will learn how to assess and improve their designs.

Two of our courses - Agile UX & UCD and Card Sorting - are featured in the =
tutorial programme for CHI 2011 in Vancouver. The courses programme should =
be on the conference web site fairly soon - www.chi2011.org<http://www.chi2=
011.org>

Drop us a line if you need a course you don't see on our site (see our cour=
se schedule<http://www.syntagm.co.uk/design/schedule.shtml>) or would like =
to run one or more in-house, anywhere in the world.
