My usability presentation

This morning I gave a presentation to my colleagues on usability. Just a short introduction, but I tried to make it a bit of fun too. I came up with the idea of using small paper models as gifts, and scoured the interweb until I found these beautiful models at ReadyMech.

After much late night cutting and swearing, and a last minute dash to the shops for more double-sided sticky tape, I had 7 gorgeous critters sitting in my lounge: [sorry, haven't downloaded the pics from my camera, slack I know!].

I set a table with "places" for each attendee, a little paper monster, some lollies, a little "Usability is cool!" flag, and my written brochure style report. We discussed what usability is, and how it affects our e-learning work. It was nice to have a discussion about a topic I am passionate about, and I enjoyed sharing my research and resources with everyone.

Here is the report, I hope it give you an insight into the wonderful world of usability and related fields.
