How to cultivate a culture of research?

​

I founded the TechSoup UX Research Learning Circle to respond to increased demand for user research in the organization coupled with a lack of opportunities to learn new skills and seek help. We meet biweekly, and present our work and new methods to other members. The UX Research Learning Circle also provides a space for users to ask questions and receive help with their current research projects. 

 

The following tools have been discussed and presented in the Learning Circle:

  •  Remote testing tools (and how to do this on a           budget)

  •  Participatory Design Workshops

  •  Personas

  •  User interviews
