Following on from the global success of the UX Book Club – now operating in over 70 locations – this session mimics the discussion format in use by many of the larger groups. Attendees will be asked to read Jon Kolko’s Thoughts on Interaction Design and/or Dan Saffer’s Designing for Interaction, 2nd edition and to engage in a discussion around “What is Interaction Design?”.
The session will be structured as follows:
5 minute introduction
25 minute round-table discussion (in tables of 8-10)
10 minute Q&A with Jon & Dan (tbc) with questions supplied by each table.
The focus of the session will be on engaging in a peer-to-peer discussion of the topic, in an unmoderated form – as has proven popular with UX Book Club attendees around the world. Session coordinators (tbc) will roam the room, assisting with the discussion and providing input as necessary.
If authors are unavailable, the general discussion will be extended, and the session will close with a short wrap-up.
