“…The challenges of developing a shared agenda for teaching UX lies beneath the transdisciplinary nature of the field. As it holds true that UX as an academic discipline and professional practice has evolved within a myriad of fields, it may raise managerial issues as to who "owns" or teaches the course (Getto, Thompson & Saggi, 2016), as well as the content and structure of it. Nonetheless, various design and technology disciplines have been putting effort to integrate UX awareness and skills into curriculum, including human-computer interaction (Faiola & Matei, 2010), industrial design (Budd & Wang, 2017), human factors (Gonzalez et al, 2017), interaction design (Bødker & Klokmose, 2012), and technical communication (Getto & Beecher, 2016), naturally focusing on expanding the traditional boundaries of knowledge and skills attributed to their own field.…”

This paper presents user experience (UX) modelling as an educational goal, outlining and grounding on the growing need for trained UX professionals and opportunities for expanding design expertise in this direction; and emphasises the importance of developing a sustained teaching agenda to address the requirements of the contemporary professional practice. After an overview of use and types of models in UX, we offer UX modelling as a teaching tool to equip design students with the theoretical and applied knowledge and skills relevant in user experience research (UXR) and design process. From this point of view, we demonstrate how we utilised UX modelling in graduate level industrial design education and illustrate examples from student works. We discuss applications of this approach by offering the use of modelling as a tool for analysing and communicating user experiences, as well as an apparatus to shape the process of transferring user insights into design implications.

The objective of this publication is to analyze compliance with the web usability guidelines on Giving information quickly and comprehensibly. The behavior of 20 IT engineers without experience in web usability is analyzed to collect data on the application and compliance of each of the studied guidelines. The objectives are: (1) make a list of recommendations on the presentation of information and possible actions in a quickly understandable way. And highlight the most forgotten guidelines or the worst followed by web developers to think about the importance of offering specific training in this field. (2) Know the most important guidelines according to the participants themselves. To obtain the results, user tests are performed that evaluate the most ignored and applied guidelines. And its correct compliance is studied, since the participants do not have experience in web usability. Besides, interviews are conducted to find out which are the guidelines that they consider most important. It is expected to know if there are guidelines that apply intuitively and why. It is also intended to know if this innate application is helpful or compliance is wrong and needs specific training.
