May 12: Complex Applications and Websites (Day 1)
Interaction patterns and special user experience techniques for data-rich user interfaces
Applications and websites that require users to make sense of and act on rich data sets to accomplish their tasks pose special user interface challenges. Examples of these user experiences are everywhere: Call centers, compensation management, process mapping, configuration and pricing, supply chain, content-heavy e-commerce, Web analytics, B2B marketplaces, and more.
Creating user experiences for end-users who engage in complex problem-solving requires an approach that’s different from traditional user-centered design (UCD) methods. In this course, we’ll explore methods, best practices and more than 40 interaction patterns geared toward complex applications and websites.
