Game mechanics EVERYWHERE!
We’ve got Nicole Lazzaro , UX-designer-turned-game-designer, who will share insights from her research on game play and connect that to UX practice. I’ve just returned from SXSW Interactive 2010, and perhaps the best talk I saw was Andy Baio’s “Gaming the Crowd, Turning Work Into Play”.

Design research as the fourth estate
In preparation for teaching the Design Research day of our upcoming UX Intensive in San Francisco, from June 15-18, I’ve been reflecting on the different roles that design research plays in the design process and in the organizations we work with.

I have seen personas become peace-keepers, in that they allow

Fresh research showing the damage of filtering 'real world' technology
Students in schools around the world find that their research, creativity and learning potential is seriously curbed by filtering and lack of use of their own mobile and gaming devices in schools. This comes from research spanning the Americas, brought to my attention by its author, Research Consultant Kim Farris-Berg. Kim got in touch with me to highlight the research she carried out in the summer of 2008, across the USA and swathes of South America and Australia. Filtering of sites they use at home for learning is the number one obstacle for high school students, arguably those in whom we should be able to place more trust thanks to more time learning about how to exploit the web wisely: "In 2007, [filtering] was high school students’ number one obstacle to using technology at their schools (53 percent).

In Market Research, Use Numbers With Caution
The other day one of my clients asked me a deceptively simple question: What is the best market research technique? While of course quantitative surveys can generate important learning, it's dangerous to assume there is any single "best" market research technique.
Quantitative research certainly has its place. It turned out to be a leading question, as he had in his hand an article from a recent article in Inc. that said, "Given limited resources ...
