===Concepts===
−
*[[Pair working]]. A scenario where two [[team member]]s share a single workstation and work together to develop a single feature.  
+
#'''[[User experience]]''' ([[User experience|UX]]). The overall experience of an individual using a given product, often discussed in terms of the easiness or difficulties with this experience.
−
*[[Swarming]]. Mutual work of team members with appropriate skills work together to complete a task that a team member is having trouble completing on his or her own.
+
#*[[File:Ux-context.png|400px|thumb|right|[[UX design]]]][[UX design]]. The process of enhancing user satisfaction with a [[market exchangeable]] by improving the usability, accessibility, and pleasure provided in the interaction with the [[market exchangeable]].
−
*[[Self organization]]. The principle that those closest to the work best know how to do the work, so set clear goals and boundaries and let them make all tactical and implementation decisions, cf. [[emergence]], [[empiricism]].
+
#'''[[User-centered design]]''' (UCD). A design process during which the needs of the user is considered at all times. Designers consider how a user is likely to use the product, and they then test the validity of their assumptions in real world tests with actual users.

The difference is that adaptive design is less fluid then RWD, and ‘serves’ few fixed width versions of the design depending on viewport size. It can utilize server side techniques to ‘detect’ viewport size prior to rendering html. The advantage for designer is that it gives more control over images and typography, and hence is easier approach to ‘retrofit’ fixed width websitest to work on mobile devices.

User Experience Quarter (hereinafter, the Quarter) is a lecture introducing the learners to social design primarily through key topics related to information architecture. The Quarter is the third of four lectures of Social Quadrivium, which is the fifth of seven modules of Septem Artes Administrativi (hereinafter, the Course).
