Subject: [PittMark] Reminder: STC meeting tonight

Please join the Pittsburgh Chapter of the Society for Technical
Communication for the opening meeting of our 2002 - 2003 season.

Human Factors: Methods for evaluating products 

Tuesday, September 10, 6:30 - 8:30
Pittsburgh Technology Council Training Room

By gathering information about our users and our products,
we can improve not only our documentation, but also the
design of our products. Heather McQuaid, Senior Interaction
Designer with Pittsburgh-based MAYA Design, will discuss
several techniques for gathering information on users,
tasks, and products (interviews and contextual inquiry),
organizing that information (tasks lists and flows, and
personas), and evaluating products (heuristic evaluation and
user testing). 

This meeting is in the training room of the Pittsburgh
Technology Council. The Technology Council is located in the
Voicestream Building, 2000 Technology Drive, in the
Pittsburgh Technology Center (on Second Avenue in the
Hazelwood section of Pittsburgh, just off the Bates Street
Exit of the Parkway East). Parking is free, plentiful, and
secure.

Please RSVP to Darlene Mullenix, Meeting Coordinator, at
412-288-8676 or dmullenix at federatedinv.com. There is no
charge for this meeting. Light refreshments will be provided.
