Designing for a Sustainable World
Start planning today for our 5th anniversary of World Usability Day!
It will take place on Thursday, November 12, 2009
The fifth annual World Usability Day (WUD), Designing for a Sustainable World. As part of World Usability Day, the Indiana Chapter of the Usability Professionals’ Association is hosting an event on Thursday, November 12, 2009 from 8:00am – 4:00pm to promote the exchange of ideas on sustainability as it relates to usability and product development. Everyone with an interest in usability is invited!
What is Sustainability?
Recycling, Reducing, Reusing, Restoring
Why are we talking about usability and sustainability? Usability is no longer only about ease of use; it is about how we use our products and technology. Effective and quality usability must look at the impact products have on the environment. Products must be user friendly AS WELL AS environmentally friendly.
