Inclusive Design Workshop

Inclusive Design Workshop 

3 hours-(group activities, 1:1 access to Frank Spillers)

June 25th, 2021, at 4:00 PM UTC; 8:30 PM IST; 8:00 AM PDT; 11:00 AM EDT

Agenda:

Inclusive Design celebrates universal access by deliberately adjusting and adapting to the needs of underrepresented communities and users. However, to do inclusion right, it needs to be default in your design and development process. It needs to be automatic and not a sideline effort or something the DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) team handles or champions.

In this workshop, Frank Spillers will cover the following topics:

Summary: Prototyping intangible experiences involving services or product-service systems requires the use of Physical Mockups, Improvisation (improv), and role-playing.  Also called experience prototyping or service prototyping, getting physical with your prototype scenarios lets you see gaps, breakpoints, and emotions. 

Prototyping is the art of creating a quick-and-dirty mock-up of a proposed design direction. We previously captured 50 reasons why prototyping saves you time, concentrated on wireframes, but what about intangible experiences?

Why UX teams are pivotal to Inclusive Design efforts

Summary: Inclusive Design is the process of ensuring representation in your design, your team, and your design and development process. Inclusion is core to User Experience (UX) efforts. UX professionals are uniquely positioned to help drive inclusion in design teams, projects and processes. 

User Advocacy is a core skill

First of all, UX Design (UXD) and UX Research (UXR) are rooted in user advocacy. In fact, UX could be termed “UXA” (user experience advocacy) since we’re always advocating: advocating for a better experience, advocating for users' needs, advocating for designs that empower users. Next, note that most UX work, discussions, and decisions are colored by advocacy. Advocacy is critical for inclusive design work, in particular reaching underrepresented users such as users with disabilities.

User Experience Design is making a wider impact in business and government overall than it has in the preceding 40 years. Critical to "updating" the UX field with the global challenges facing 2020-2050, UX needs a clearly articulated role in the problem-solving puzzle of sustainability. UX Designers need a tangible role and set of tools and skills to be "useful" to addressing sustainability issues.
