Learn how the practice of remote testing and field research has developed alongside network technologies and conferencing tools at the October meeting of the Michigan Usability Professionals Association.
Barb Hernandez, Josephine Scott, and Casey Wright of TechSmith will discuss the various methods now available to visit and observe users in their offices or homes. Gathering feedback from more users remotely is less expensive and time-consuming.
When: Monday, October 27, 6:00pm-8:30pm (Food and networking at 6:00pm, program begins at 7:00pm)
Where: ProQuest, 789 E. Eisenhower Parkway, Ann Arbor, MI 48108 (map)
Cost : $5 Students, $10 UPA members, $20 all others (includes food and beverage).
Register: Please RSVP to events@miupa.org

Complete a survey – win a book!
October 15, 2008
O’Reilly Media is conducting research about in-person, live workshops on software and business topics, and they want your opinion. If you live in the United States and work in the tech industry, please consider taking their 19 question survey to help O’Reilly understand what you look for in a live training course – what motivates you, what you expect to get out of a workshop, what topics you’d like to see, and so forth.
To show their appreciation, O’Reilly will select 10 people at random to receive a free book of your choice. The drawing will happen on Friday, October 17, so you’ll need to complete the survey by that date to enter.
The last question on the survey asks for your e-mail address. O’Reilly will use your e-mail address only to contact the randomly selected winners – and your responses will remain anonymous.
Meeting: October 15, 2008 Demo Night
October 2, 2008
Join us for demo night on October 15, 2008 at the Wayne State University Undergraduate Library. Celebrate with us as we have our first Refresh Detroit meeting in the city of Detroit!
We’re looking for people who will demo their creation, design, illustration, application, tool, or product. Each person has five to ten minutes to present and answer questions. Our demo night last spring was such a success, we had to extend it to the next month to allow everyone to show off their latest work!
Demo night is a great opportunity to share your work, see what others have been working on, and get feedback on works in progress.
Special thanks to Heidi Hansen who organized this event, and to our sponsors:
- ASIS&T Student Chapter at Wayne State University
- Wayne State University Library & Information Science Program
Where: Wayne State University Undergraduate Library, 5155 Gullen Mall, Detroit, Michigan 48202 (map). We’re meeting in the Community Room on the 3rd floor of the library.
Parking: The closest parking will probably be Parking Structure #2 on Anthony Wayne Drive, which is a short walk down Williams Mall to the Undergraduate Library. Parking Structure #5 is another option (it’s next to Parking Structure #2).
For visitors, parking is $3.75 at the gate, quarters or dollar bills only.
Note: there is metered parking, but it’s only for one hour; the parking garage is likely the best option.
When: Wednesday, October 15, 2008 6:30PM-8PM
Interested in demoing your work? RSVP by commenting below with your name and application/design/tool/product, so we have an idea of how many people will be presenting.
