Abstract:

Many products and services are extending across borders and user experience practitioners need to be able to effectively cross borders as well. The range of international user research projects is wide; however, after conducting numerous complex multinational studies across five continents, we identified a number of common processes.

This workshop will provide insights into the preparation, recruiting, fieldwork (testing), analysis and reporting, and overall project management for international user tests. We will also cover emerging trends in research, such as remote user testing and eye tracking. We will provide best-practice advice in each of these topics as well as anecdotes and case studies from mobile and medical device testing to demonstrate real-world application of strategies.
