[EVENT] UPA Boston: Annual Conference Timeline and Details

Hi!

Join us for the seventh annual Boston Mini UPA conference at Bentley
College in Waltham, MA on Wednesday, May 28th!

Hear and discuss critical topics in usability and user-centered design
with practitioners, students, and experts in the field.

health websites/web apps that show rather then tell about disease and what you can do about it

Hi

I’d appreciate pointers to websites that do a good job of presenting basic
info about a disease and esp. what you can do about it
(prevention/detection).

I’d especially like to see sites that don’t rely so heavily on text to get
across prevention tips, screening tests, symptoms to watch for, for someone
who just found out they’re at risk for a condition. Looking for sites for
regular people (not healthcare professionals).

I’ve checked the archives but don’t find anything good.

Interaction Design and Theatre

Hello,

just wondering... does anyone of you has information about interaction design studies applied to theatre?
I've tried to put up a show using human-machine interaction principles a couple years ago, and the results were astonishing.
I'd like to keep on working in this sense of direction. Anything in Dublin, Ireland?

Thanks,

Maria :-)

"The Most Frequently Used Features in Microsoft Office"

At the Adaptive Path UXi conference, they spoke almost specifically
about this - the fact that new webapps are coming out that try to give
20% of the functionality that 80% of the users will use instead of being
everything for everybody. They used Writely as an example (which has
since been bought up by Google) to show that people usually only need a
subset of what is offered in Microsoft Word.
