Unmoderated remote usability testing (URUT)

Seen in my email.

---

If you're into usability testing, user experience, or webinars, you might be interested in this free one on 5/31 from UserZoom. 

Blurb:
"Unmoderated remote usability testing (URUT) has become an effective and a low cost technique for collecting task based usability data. It has grown a lot in recent years (28% since 2009 according to the UPA, more than any other method) and has become the choice of many UX professionals.

But where do you start, if you are new to URUT?"

Believe it or not ...

... the grades are in ConnectCarolina. If you see an INC, you know why. You have a year to clear it, but it would be wise to get it cleared this summer.

Gradesheets have been posted

... in the usual location. I have not yet posted these grades into ConnectCarolina and probably will wait until Monday to do so. If there is anything you need to tell me about what I have noted, please do so. I will be working my way through my other grading, but will hear new emails arrive as the come in.

I will send each of you an individual email, but not until after Tuesday.

Possible RAship in DIL

Digital Innovation Lab might have some RAship openings in the coming year. We are looking for undergraduate or graduate students who are comfortable with programming and interested in digital humanities. You should all have better sense on how to design a good user interface than other students after this course. :) If you are interested in this kind of opportunity, please let me (chienyi at unc dot edu) know. When the opportunity comes, I will let you know first. Thanks!

A tour to SAS usability team

Hello classmates,

So I talked to Cheryl(the usability analyst at SAS) after her guest lecture, and she kindly invited us to a tour to SAS usability team located in Cary. She and I sent several emails back an forth, and it seems like April 30th, around 2pm-3pm will be the tour time. The specifics about how the tour may consist of are not decided yet, but I think the tour will be still a great chance to visit THE SAS anyways. If many of us can go together, we can pool cars as well. 

If you are interested in the tour, please send me email to sieun17@gmail.com before today, April 23rd! ASAP! Thanks!
