What role would you like to play in organizing this workshop? I’m interested in organizing a workshop on this topic.

Intended Audience: Service owners in higher ed technology

Proposal:

I'm passionate about user research / UX best practices and I think not enough of it happens in higher education. All of these practices are really accessible regardless of staffing or budget. I want to help people understand how to gain insights about their constituents so they can make their products more useful - or even just understand how to communicate about them more effectively.

Learning Objectives:
What is UX
How to conduct common UX activities such as persona design, journey mapping, and user testing
How to use insights from user research

Event Type: In-person workshop

Track: Transforming the Student Experience

Additional Comments:
I think this would work best as an in-person session because it's fun to do activities together with post-its, etc. But I would be open to delivering it virtually.
