<div dir="ltr">Thanks, everyone, for all the helpful suggestions. Lauren raises an excellent question (or makes an excellent suggestion) regarding a bib. If there isn't already something like this out there, I could imagine a really helpful resource that annotates
UX resources from within and beyond TC in terms of their usefulness to teaching in TC contexts.

very clear way it breaks down the method(s). But I use it for a class that exclusively focuses on usability testing. </span></div>

<div><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">For UX, I also teach a similar class: multi-disciplinary, multi-major, different levels, with community-engaged projects (such a fun class to teach!). </font></div>

</font></div>
<div><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">We use UX Team of One by Leah Buley for a good process approach that talks about both how to do UX as a generalist and also how to get support and buy-in for the practice (which is especially helpful when working
with community partners who might be new to UX). </font><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">I also use the Sketching User Experiences Workbook by Greenberg et al, for lots of good exercises in practicing design. Students have responded positively
to both texts. </span></div>

<div>Dear List,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm curious to know what resources you use to teach undergrads (esp. non-majors) to conduct web usability research, or UX research in general.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I've mostly found texts that discuss general usability principles, such as handbooks for general audiences (e.g. Krug 2014) or introductory TC textbooks, but that don't go into much depth on methods. Barnum's (2002)
<i>Usability Testing and Research</i> seems to be the most thorough instructional text on methodology we have in TC, but 16 years is a long time ago. I may be running up against what Chong (2016) identifies as a lack of explicitly pedagogical texts in TC concerning
usability.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'd love to hear from you if you have used these or other texts, and to what degree of success.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Some context: This spring, as part of an intermediate level special topics course I'm calling Community-based Writing in a Digital World, I'm taking on a community engagement project that involves developing web content/architecture for a police department's
community relations bureau, which will further involve conducting UX research with community and police stakeholders to ensure that the web space facilitates partnership and trust building. Because it satisfies a gen ed requirement, I am likely to get students
of all majors and at various levels of degree completion, which is why I'm pushing for very "usable" texts.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
