As you probably have noticed, we focused EID this week on
the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society conference. The Proceedings are not up
yet, but I will make sure to link to the specific papers when I can.
Monday and Tuesday’s posts came out before the conference
started, so those posts are pre-con. Monday was about getting the most value
from a conference. The source article was not from an HFES member, but I tried
to focus the EID piece on the HFES meeting specifically. If anyone read it just
before going to the conference, hopefully it was helpful.
Tuesday’s article was about game training and decision making
bias. I was supposed to give a workshop on gamification at the conference on
Monday, so the post was supposed to be on that. But my surgery got in the way.
I think this was a good replacement for EID.
Wednesday covered the Tuesday conference keynote address by
John Nance. He is a world renown speaker and showed why at the conference. He
had lots of good anecdotes and videos to share. If you are interested in health
care, safety, reliability and agile organizations, or aerospace, he is a good
source.
Thursday covered the User Experience Day keynote address by
Chris Pacione from LUMA Institute. His keynote was on design thinking. But
rather than give the usual lecture, he broke everyone into teams and had us
doing a problem framing exercise on the walls. We decided to ask forgiveness
from the hotel afterwards rather than permission before because they have a
rule against taping things to the walls. We used poster-sized post-it notes, so
there was no damage or marks on the walls. No harm no foul, right?
Next week will feature some of the specific sessions at the
conference. The award winning papers, the design prizes, the on-site
competitions, and the other notable topics.
I look forward to writing them, so I hope you are looking forward to
reading them.
