    Did you become a user researcher because you love talking to users, analyzing studies and generating insights – but then found you were spending all your time trying to figure out how much to pay users, how long sessions should be, and waiting for no-shows? Using data from over 30,000 research sessions, we will share best practices on the planning and logistics of user research, so you can focus on the user research you love.

    User research can be a challenge when working in the public sector, dealing with regulations, red tape and long approval times. But that doesn't mean it's impossible to research or test your work with your users. Explore ways to recruit and options for testing when no one has money to spend, with real-world examples and clever workarounds that allow public sector researchers to get private sector results.

    Working with users when doing usability testing or other user research involves some real skill. Experienced facilitators will tell you, though, that users are nothing compared to the people behind the glass or on the phone – your observers.

    This presentation looks at tips and tricks you can use to make your relationship with your observers as productive, efficient, and positive as possible. These apply whether your observers are in the room with you, in an observation room next door, or on the phone.

In this online seminar we tell you all you need to know to get started.  We share lessons learned from running hundreds of usability-testing sessions on mobile phones and tablets. We discuss equipment choices, location setup, participant recruitment, and facilitation, and we emphasize the main differences between running usability tests on mobile devices and on a regular computer.
