Our annual UCISA UX (User Experience) Community Day returns on Wednesday 16th September and will take place virtually. Join us for an insightful day full of inspiring talks and practical insights into UX in Higher Education.
Call for speakers is now open and we’re looking for practical, honest UX stories - successes, challenges, and lessons learned. If you would be interested in speaking at this event, please complete this short form. The deadline to submit your proposal is Friday 19th June.
We’re looking to include sessions on the following themes:
Putting numbers on it
How have you demonstrated the impact of UX in ways decision makers understand?
We’d love to hear: How you use data and metrics to build a solid UX evidence base.
AI in UX: Beyond the chatbot
AI is everywhere – but how is it actually being used in UX practice?
- Using AI in user research, evaluation, analysis, or design reviews
- What you experimented with and what you learned
- Wins, near misses, failures, and what you did next
We’d love to hear: Real-life insights and stories to help us all learn how to incorporate AI into all aspects of UX in the most safe, responsible, and ethical ways.
Designing with, not for
Co-designing with students, staff and other audiences.
We’d love to hear: Your inclusive design practices and initiatives – whether you’ve positioned end-users as design partners, involved wider audiences in co-creation, or designed as a result of gathering real-life data. Share how you’ve brought EDI and UX together.
UX within the machine
Making UX happen relies on aligning with ‘how things work’ in your organisation.
We’d love to hear: Your stories of integrating UX into product management, aligning UX research with agile practices, incorporating UX into projects, making it fit existing institutional structures and frameworks. How have you shaped UX to fit?
Playing the long game
You’ve reached the end of the project or the initiative, but now what?
We’d love to hear: How you’ve brought longevity to your UX work, as well as case studies documenting multi-year, continuous improvements.
