Darren Ladner First Week on the job..

As I begin the college lifestyle again, I will be actually in the offices of the school and not in the classrooms. I have started my new job here at NCTC as the Webmaster.

This will be a major undertaking. So stay tuned....... Continue

Claudia Snell An Event Apart, Boston - anyone else go?

Last week I attended An Event Apart, Boston (http://aneventapart.com/). It was excellent. For any that weren't able to attend this year, you can read A Feed Apart (http://afeedapart.com/). It's an unofficial feed aggregator of the twitter posts of attendees while the event was in progress. There are also photos posted on Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/groups/aeaboston09/). If you haven't heard of An Event Apart, I would highly recommend it. It's the best conference I've been to. You can also ch… Continue

Shere Hicks McClamb My First Post EVER

I am indeed not from another planet but this is indeed my first post. Don't get me wrong I have read my share of blogs, but I guess I never thought I had anything important to say. I'm quite sure I still don't but I'll never know if I don't try. Continue

Julie Strothman What Kinds of Communities Do We Want to Create?

In his opening keynote at the Information Architecture Summit 2009, cultural anthropologist Michael Wesch, of Kansas State University, asked the room of user experience designers: "How can we create an environment that creates the kind of community and the kind of people we want?" It’s arguably self-aggrandizing to think we are engineering types of people, however Wesch, and later Jesse James Garrett, reminded us of McLuhan’s observation: "We shape our tools and thereafter our tools shape us.

Michael McCready Perpetual Feedback

Many of us have heard of the concept of Perpetual Beta which basically means that a system never leaves beta and is constantly having new features added. I would like to talk about the concept of Perpetual Feedback. I’ve done some searching and haven’t found any resources citing the term Perpetual Feedback. The concept itself isn’t really new, but I would like to put a new spin or face to idea of website feedback. I remember years ago implementing a feedback form on some websites I was working… Continue
