The shuttle picked us up early for breakfast at Logan college. The programme for the day was jam packed with content, the theme for the day being "Creating Usable Web Experiences". David Poteet kicked off with the key note address "Web Usability: The Strategic Value of the User Experience". We were posed with two questions - what is the user experience? and who makes it?
David went on to answer these questions and illustrate how research into a user demographic ultimately decides what content should be available and how it is organised. This was further illustrated in the "Blah, Blah" workshop in the afternoon using the KJ method of brainstorming (more in the report).
The Nursing Channel presentation by Catherine Johnson was something that both Angus and I can both see being beneficial in the UK. In brief, it contained 14 video clips of real nurse experience used for recruitment and practice development. I can see this being a great tool for engaging students at health fairs and trust AGMs.
Whilst the majority of the attendee's went to the Gateway Arch, I ended the evening in the 90 degree heat of the Busch stadium for the ball game. Fantastic!
