As long as the "job board" is being distributed to the email list I don't think it makes a difference.

Please take five minutes to fill out our survey (before 22 May) and enter our raffle for a GBP 35/USD 50/EUR 40 Amazon voucher. The URL is

[EVENT] IxDA NYC: Tackling the Digital Divide with Analog Solutions - Thurs. May 20th at 6:30

TACKLING THE DIGITAL DIVIDE WITH ANALOG SOLUTIONS
 
Join us as Clara Gaggero and Adrian Westaway show us how their team at London’s Vitamins Design solved the problem of how to teach the elderly to use cell phones using existing and familiar systems, such as books, maps and cards. Working in partnership with The Royal College of Art’s Helen Hamlyn Center and Samsung Design Europe, their approach should be an asset for anyone seeking new ways to help their clients understand our rapidly evolving digital world.

restricting access using passwords or gesters

Hi guys

On a shared touch screen device what do you feel is the best way for one end user to prevent another user accessing certain areas of content?

I am in a little light hearted debate at the moment as to the best way to achieve this centric on whether the traditional character based password method is still superior to a gester, say, the continuous selection of a series of squares on a 4 x 4 grid.

Re: [IxDA] Best practices for designing Terms and Conditions/Customer Agreement Interactions

I recently did a piece of work with a big financial organisation. Naturally, they're required to present these sorts of things to customers, but fully realise that most (the vast majority, >90 per cent according to our research) don't read them, and those that do rarely finish or fully understand them.

As Mike notes, it's a cost/benefit thing - for both the customer and the organisation.

We ended up providing a legally approved conditions summary that was visible in our process and links to the full conditions subsequently displayed in a light box.

These terms are most often used in government projects to delineate the difference between what are considered inward-facing (agency-centric) and public facing (citizen-centric) tools, services, programs, policies, etc.

With the growth of the movement towards open government (Government 2.0), there's an increase in ensuring that public sector workers, particularly, engage with the public in changed
