About this presentation
 This is a short version of a presentation shared with 2nd year Diploma in
 Experience and Product Design students at the Singapore Polytechnic
 Design School during the World Usability Day 2008 Singapore.

 I hope the slides are a good reference for the students to go back to when
 they need to review what was presented and discussed during the lecture.
Acknowledgements
 I would like to thank the students at SP for their thoughtful and enthusiastic
 participation on the World Usability Day lecture and workshop. I would also
 like to thank Venkatesh Rajamanickam, Thierry Do and Edwin Low - from
 Experience and Product Design program for collaborating with us to get this
 year’s WUD up and running. Many thanks to my colleagues at ASUS Design
 Singapore Ng Wan Lynn, Lionel Wong, and Cindy Liew for everything.

  • 2. About this presentation This is a short version of a presentation shared with 2nd year Diploma in Experience and Product Design students at the Singapore Polytechnic Design School during the World Usability Day 2008 Singapore. I hope the slides are a good reference for the students to go back to when they need to review what was presented and discussed during the lecture.
  • 3. Acknowledgements I would like to thank the students at SP for their thoughtful and enthusiastic participation on the World Usability Day lecture and workshop. I would also like to thank Venkatesh Rajamanickam, Thierry Do and Edwin Low - from Experience and Product Design program for collaborating with us to get this year’s WUD up and running. Many thanks to my colleagues at ASUS Design Singapore Ng Wan Lynn, Lionel Wong, and Cindy Liew for everything.
