Quality-assessment expert and STC member, Alice Jane Emanuel, will introduce an easy-to-use, yet comprehensive tool for document quality assessment. Alice Jane will demonstrate how this tool provides granular feedback so that you can improve your documentation, and provide empirical data so that you can track your or your team’s progress towards better quality documentation, improve your documentation department’s quality of output, and create useful documentation metrics.

Our Presenter, Alice Jane Emanuel

City University and Human Factors International are co-hosting a free event from 6.30 to 9 PM on the topic of “Mobile Persuasion”.

Persusasion, Emotion, and Trust are the design rage, but how are they applied to mobile user interfaces? Influential speakers will come together to present their views in brief presentations, followed by an engaging panel discussion.

If you are working with mobile user interfaces, this might be the perfect evening event for you, and the price is not bad!
