For the first time ever, we’re sending our popular Cooper U interaction design course to Columbus, Ohio. If you're in the surrounding area on August 14-17, don't miss it! Register today. This is a great chance for you and your colleagues to receive design training from our industry experts. You’ll learn how to create personas and use goal-directed design to create better experiences. Then, you and a small group of other participants will put those learnings into practice to design an example product. This course serves as the foundation for the rest of our Cooper U curriculum and is an entrée to our UX Boot Camp. This four-day training is ideal for product planners, developers, marketers, design practitioners, usability professionals, and managers who want to learn how to:

• Plan and conduct user research using powerful ethnographic techniques
• Distinguish between what users say they want and what they really need
• Translate observations into personas, goals, and scenarios
• Develop and prioritize requirements based on user and business goals
• Quickly turn requirements into a concrete product concept
