multiple-media.com president at the UPA
Renato Cudicio gave a speach on « L'utilisabilité au cœur de la fracture numérique » during the annual conference of the Usability Professional's Association.
|
June 27 - July 1, 2005 Montreal, the
annual UPA conference on the topic : Bridging Cultures. |
As
usability professionals, we are uniquely qualified to "be the
bridge" between cultures. Our skills of observation help us
identify the needs of different groups. This can help us translate
the needs of one group into the results created by another group.
We often do this in our work by observing and understanding the
needs of our user community, and then becoming the "bridge" that
translates those needs into requirements that can be understood and
acted upon by designers, business owners, and technical teams.
In
2005, the UPA conference has received more than 200 professionnal
submissions for communications and gathered 521 usability
experts.
Within
these framework, mister Renato Cudicio has presented the results
of his exhaustive research on 90 Web sites from 15 countries
evaluating the usability level of each of them. The graph above
illustrates the fact that more the countries have problems with
the digital divide (bandwidth, infrastructures and
technological competencies) more they seem to make
mistakes in the realization of their web sites generating more
difficulties to consult them.
