UXblog readers in Chicago might be interested in Marc Rettig’s, seven-week course on user-centered web design, to start October 11. Over seven weeks (one evening a week), the class will weave elements of craft (user research, interaction design, prototyping and testing, etc.) with techniques for facilitating interdisciplinary teams through a user-centered process. It uses case studies, examples, classroom activities, and a seasoning of theory to provide useful tools and principles for working professionals. A detailed, week-by-week course description and registration instructions can be found at www.enteract.com/~marc. SPACE IS LIMITED — as of this writing, there are six seats left in the 20-person class.
