[ATTW-L] usability online?

[Christopher Andrews]

Hi, Miles,

What about having students focus on the planning side of usability testing,
really think through and then build a formal usability test plan, and have
that be the end goal? Situate it as the "hit by a bus" document that's to
be handed off to another team, etc... A colleague here taught usability
over the summer that way, and reported it went very well.
