Usability presentation
08Apr08
Last week I gave a brief presentation on usability. It was meant to be a quick introduction to the concept of usability and to provide tips on how websites maintained in a devolved environment, where content authors are not always web professionals, can be improved through small usability improvements. I have been asked for some accompanying resources so here are the slides and following, a brief list of introductory usability resources.
Usability
- Usability 101
- useit.com
- Usability.gov
- Australian Government Information Management Office: web publishing guide
- Usability book of knowledge
Accessibility
- Introduction to web accessibility
- Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
- World Wide Web Access: Disability Discrimination Act Advisory Notes (HREOC)
Higher Ed
Book
- Don’t make me think!

Wow, that is so good, Georg.
I should do something like that and give a ’seminar how-to’ to our students. Maybe also a ‘paper how-to’ and a ‘thesis how-to’.
Nice to see you back in action.

Thanks BK, it is nice to be back. And go for it with your how-tos, you should never underestimate the simple things.
