Mobile User Experience 1: Usability of Websites and Apps on Mobile Devices

How do we create a satisfactory user experience when limited to a small device?

This seminar is based on expert reviews, as well as international studies with participants ranging from students to early technology adopters and business people using websites on a variety of mobile devices. We also report on the latest findings from articles published in prestigious journals and conferences.

Our user research included smartphones, touchphones, as well as feature phones from several different vendors. The seminar will discuss the issues in designing for this range of devices, with a focus on smartphones and touchphones, since research indicates that these are the primary devices used for mobile Internet access.

In this seminar we target basic mobile usability principles that go beyond any specific phone model.
