We often use surveys to collect data on user attitudes and sentiment. However, survey creators often do not use best practices or test their surveys, which leads to bad data and inaccurate assumptions about users. JoinJen Romano, PhD for a 2-hour workshop, in which she will share real-world examples from years of survey research across a number of organizations (e.g., the US Census Bureau, National Survey of College Graduates, Nielsen, Facebook, and more), leaving you with a guidebook to create your own surveys and test them.

Date: Wednesday Apr 24, 2024
Time: 9:00 - 11:00am PT | 12:00 - 2:00pm ET
Cost: $150

Next week we have TWO workshops!
1. *Strategies to Influence UX Workshop*
- Tues Feb 27, 4-6p PT | 7-9p ET
In this 2-hour workshop, Jennifer Romano, PhD and Rebecca Destello will share tips and tricks from their experiences leading teams and projects at Meta and Google on how to influence strategy and stakeholders. They will share how to best communicate with stakeholders, how to build and foster relationships, how to create the most usable roadmaps, and how combining quantitative and qualitative data can be a powerful method to educate about users, uncover opportunities, and drive strategy. https://www.uxrcoach.com/courses/strategies

2. *The Testing Parts in Isolation (TPI) Framework: Reducing Confounds with Experimental Design* (moved from this week)
- Thurs Feb 29, 1-3p PT | 4-6p ET.
In this 2-hour workshop, learn how to use this rigorous methodology used by teams at IDEO and Google. Learn how to use this framework to iteratively test content in isolation, or test design in isolation, separate from each other. Using this experimental method, we can remove confounds that exist when we test content and design together, so we can be more confident in the recommendations we make to clients and the overall experiences we deliver to users.

Join us on Feb 22 for a 2-hour workshop, and learn how to use the Testing Parts in Isolation (TPI) Framework: a rigorous methodology used by teams at IDEO and Google. This framework enables us to iteratively test content in isolation, or test design in isolation, separate from each other. Using this method, we can remove the confounds that exist when we test content and design together, so we can be more confident in the recommendations we make to clients and the overall experiences we deliver to users.

This course in experimental design is specifically designed for UX researchers, UX designers, and UX content strategists and writers. But it's open to anybody who is interested in the intersection of content, research, and design, and anyone who wants to learn how to conduct research better than before.

After this workshop, you will be able to:
- Understand and communicate the value of testing parts in isolation
- Design and conduct studies in which you test content alone and design alone
- Understand how to combine qualitative and quantitative methods when iterating quickly on both content and design
- Understand how the framework can help you and your team align around the information users need, when they need it.
