Michael Gove’s comments at the BETT show for educational technology in London yesterday that both teachers and students are ‘turned off’ by ICT lessons really struck a chord with me. However, I hope the changes go further than simply ‘computing’, which suggests a narrow focus on websites and apps and not on the wider digital world.
It has been estimated that over 75% of land rovers are still on the road, an astonishing number, I doubt any other make and model gets remotely close. This got me thinking about websites and what we do to maximise longevity, and when the point is that a website should be confined to the virtual scrap yard i.e. fail its MOT for the final time.
Having been in business for nearly a decade, we at Foolproof have heard a lot of excuses down the years as to why there is no need for user research in a design project. We thought we’d heard them all, but a new one from a ‘full service’ digital agency is worth passing on.
Ed Balls, the former schools secretary, is the first to state that he’ll stand for the Labour leadership.
And guess the first thing he’s going to do? “I’m obviously talking to the people” …about lessons learnt from the party’s defeat.
I’m a great fan of being able to both book and check-in online for flights. I’m less of a fan of turning up at the airport to find my flight is significantly delayed without prior knowledge.
Faced with a room full of students and just 5 mins of stand time we hoped to inspire the next generation of user experience specialists.
