SUMMARY:Do No Harm: Making Better Forms for People
DESCRIPTION:Rebecca Blakiston and Ann Shivers-McNair co-present at the edUi conference in Virginia. \nIn higher education\, forms are everywhere. Students use them to register for classes\, staff use them to get technical help\, and faculty use them to request classroom spaces and technology. But too often\, we don’t give these forms the care and nurturing they deserve. In this session\, attendees will learn how to empathize with users in order to design and write forms that are better for the people who have to use them. Attendees will learn how to ensure their forms are inclusive\, approachable\, and human-centered. We will cover a range of considerations from format\, plain language\, and structure to details like confirmation messages\, button placement\, and field labels. By the end of this session\, attendees will be able to create forms that have users saying\, “that’s nice!” and not\, “this sucks!” \nWhat You’ll Learn\n\nHow to write useful field labels\, error messages\, and confirmation messages\nHow to simplify form content\, including only what is absolutely necessary

SUMMARY:Creating Content for Everyone
DESCRIPTION:Rebecca Blakiston\, Annissa Corsi\, and Dawn Hunziker present as part of the Inclusive and Accessible Design Series. \nAccessibility of content is important and something to consider in the designing stages of your message. This matters whether you are creating content for a website\, presentation\, email message\, course\, or newsletter. In fact\, this matters for any digital content you plan to create and share on campus and beyond. \nJoin us at the University of Arizona for a presentation from Dawn Hunziker\, IT accessibility consultant\, Annissa Corsi\, alternative media coordinator\, and Rebecca Blakiston\, user experience librarian. These experts from Disability Resources and the University Libraries will share tips and tools for creating content that is accessible to all.

SUMMARY:Challenges\, Highlights\, and Pivotal Moments: Understanding the Graduate Student Experience
DESCRIPTION:Rebecca Blakiston and Gardie Lueders co-present as part of the AzLA Annual Conference. \nLibraries provide a lot of valuable services to graduate students\, but how can we make these services more useful and impactful? Learn how the University of Arizona Libraries is studying the graduate student experience to better serve this user group. We will discuss how we gathered data through experience mapping\, user interviews\, and environmental scanning. We’ll also discuss how the user experience (UX) team collaborated with research and learning librarians and the marketing manager to uncover insights and generate solutions.
