Having attended a few webinars recently, I have realized I enjoy the format. It allows me to see excellent presentations while networking with like-minded individuals, yet I don’t have to get a passport or get on a plane. Most recently I joined a local group in seeing Michael Hughes, a User Assistance Architect at IBM, as he spoke about task support clusters and designing micro-architectures for user assistance. I heard about it through the Society of Technical Communication (STC), and enjoyed networking with technical writers as much as learning valuable information.
Today I received notices about a few upcoming webinars relating to user experience design. The first relates to graphic design principles, and seemed to be on a rather general overview level. However, the second and third were through Rosenfeld Media and are much more exciting to me.
The first two “Future Practice Webinars” offered are Modern Web Form Design by Luke Wroblewski, and Using Mental Models For Tactics and Strategy by Indi Young. Each cost the same as the first webinar I mentioned above, but cover user experience design in deep detail, and include a copy of the speakers book in the webinar cost, both in print and digital format. Not one or the other. Both! So now excuse me as I try to find change in my couch cushions so I can join these webinars.
