UX Pedagogy Cafè Wrap Up – Dec 3

As part of an effort to create a Community of Practice, Heather Turner & Emma Rose hosted the first quarterly UX Pedagogy Cafè on Dec 3 from 10-11:30PT.

We were excited by the turnout of instructors from a variety of programs from around the US, attendees included graduate students, directors of programs, and faculty members.

About the Cafè

The goal was to bring together instructors to create dialog across a wide range of experiences to learn from each other. The format was the choice of several breakout rooms to discuss and share. The breakout room topics included:

1. 1. 1. Critical UX: Issues of justice, resistance, and critique 
      2. Stories and struggles: What’s working, what’s not in your pedagogy
      3. Curriculum design: How do I teach students to do ____?
      4. Programmatic conversations: Incorporating UX more broadly into your program 
      5. Leftovers: Anything else not listed above. Your choice. 

Discussion and outcomes

To view the starter questions, a list of resources and notes from the discussion, you can view the UX Pedagogy Cafè Slides.

In addition, the group decided to keep in touch and continue the conversation in the following ways:

1. 1. 1. Tweeting with the hashtag #uxpedagogy
      2. Join the UX Pedagogy Slack (reach out for an invite)
      3. Join the UX Pedagogy Email Listserv (coming soon)

Stay tuned for our next Cafe in Winter 2022!
