The UCamp sessions held at Sakai conferences and the Rutgers Unconference have been very well received. A UCamp session is planned for the Wednesday afternoon BarCamp period. This is partly in response to interest expressed by the Kuali Student folks, but we expect it to attract interest from the other projects as well.
Session Leader: Barbara Glover and members of Fluid UX community
(Anyone in the community at large: if you're interested in lending a
hand with this seminar, please let me know! – Barbara)
Title: UCamp: Exploring UX issues and techniques for open source communities
(At this point we are still canvassing the communities to see what specific topics we should focus on at the UCamp.)
In general UCamps offer information about what is User Centered Design (UCD) and how it can be applied to improve the user experience of learning management systems and other higher educational software. We will have topics on basic UCD and possibly other more advanced topics. All topics will be presented in a workshop like format to encourage collaborative learning and discussion amongst UCamp participants.
