Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute phasing out online HCI program

Why is noone interested in this program?
There are only two online HCI programs to my knowledge - Rensselaer's
and Brigham Young University.
RPI's name has cachet and prestige. I know some nuclear engineers who
graduated from RPI - smart school for smart people.

I think they are phasing the online HCI program out because they
didn't have enough applicants.
Does no one have an interest in working while getting a degree remotely?

Just checking the temperature here...

Visual Importance of Page Titles

Title! Title! Just as you said, title is what users are looking for to
ensure them they're in the right place. If users don't immediately see
the expected title when they click from some similarly labeled call to
action, uncertainty sets in. Did I click the right link? Am I in the
right place? Important elements that provide users with a sense of place
and ensure them that they're not lost (and that the company is taking
care of them, at least while they're on the site) should always take
precedence over marketing banners for the best user experience.

Qt Designer vs other mock-up tools

Hi,

Just to follow the trend of mock-up tools thread, here is another
one. A bit more technical perhaps.

I have used Qt Designer a bit, which is the GUI design tool for the
Qt framework. I have also looked some other mock-up tools. I haven't
looked hard yet, but I don't see much difference in how you work. You
made need less technical competence for other tools, but you pay for
it in that the work can't be used directly.

Anyone who have use Qt Designer and some other mock-up tool. I'm
really curious about additional benefits.

Checkout process

Rafael

In my experience it really depends on the product, the price, and
the audience. One thing that I do know is cutting the number of clicks in
every case I have experienced increases the conversation rate. Why do you
have Personal Details and Address Details pages?

Use a method like GOMS to look at how you can reduce the clicks.

Balsamiq Mockups

Hi Mary,

Haven¹t used it too much, just played around. Like the Œsketchy¹ feel, but
there are some limitations. The developer is very open to improvements and
suggestions.
Nice to be able to rough something out quickly and share, but paper, OneNote
or GUUI¹s Œsketch stencil¹ may be an alternative. Has lots of promise
though. Just need more time to work with it.

Another interesting app is called Pencil, V 1.0, by Doung Thanh An, a
Vietnamese developer ­ not as Œsketchy¹ but quick and flexible-Window XP
only.
