This is a recurring event: View all events in the series “Taster sessions”
This session looks at real life scenarios of technology usage and seeks to understand what delights users or disappoints them, and what UX experts can do to influence the design and engineering of technology so that it fits users and their needs.
Prof Nick Hine, Professor in UX Engineering, will lead an online session discussing what expectation users have of technology. It will explore factors that affect the experience users have when they encounter technology in the everyday busyness of their lives.
Participants will have the opportunity to highlight their experiences and these will be used as cases to explore the users’ perspectives.
From that foundation, the session will explore UX job roles and how UX professionals can contribute to ensuring technology mediated products and service fit users and enable them to get on with their lives without technology impeding them. It will also look at some of the constraints that exist that influence the pursuit of perfect User Experiences.
This is especially designed to give participants a taster of what studying MSc UX Engineering at City, University of London is like.
The programme will be explored, including the opportunity to participate in an internship as part of the programme and to undertake a thesis study seed from a real-world question provided by companies and organisations outside the University.
Attendance at City events is subject to our terms and conditions.
