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''). The ''Course'' is designed to introduce the learners to general concepts in [[business administration]], [[management]], and [[organizational behavior]].

===Concepts===
 +
#'''[[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.
 +
#*[[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]].
 +
#'''[[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.
 +
#*[[Adaptive design]]. Like Responsive web design it is an approach to web design aimed at crafting sites to provide an optimal viewing and interaction experience on different screen and devices. 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.
 +
#*[[Responsive design]]. A design approach that responds to the user’s behavior and environment based on screen size, platform and orientation. The practice consists of a mix of flexible grids and layouts, images and an intelligent use of CSS media queries.
 +
#'''[[Information architecture]]''' ([[Information architecture|IA]]). (1) The structural design of shared information environments; (2) The art and science of organizing and labeling websites, intranets, online communities and software to support [[usability]], including findability; (3) An emerging community of practice focused on bringing principles of design and architecture to the digital landscape.
 +
#*[[Content classification]].
 +
#*[[Content hierarchy]].
 +
#*[[Content labeling]].
 +
#*[[Content tagging]].
 +
#*[[Content navigation]].
 +

 +
#*[[Information scent]]. An important concept in information foraging theory referring to the extent to which users can predict what they will find if they pursue a certain path through a website. As animals rely on scents to indicate the chances of finding food, so do humans rely on various cues in the information environment to achieve their goals.
 +
#*[[User journey]]. The step by step journey that a user takes to reach their goal.
 +

#*[[Red route]]. The frequent and critical activities that users will perform on your site. They are complete activities, not single tasks, and will probably require several pages to execute. Defining the red routes for your site means that you’ll be able to identify and eliminate any usability obstacles on the key user journeys. (Important roads in London are known as ‘red routes’ and Transport for London do everything in their power to make sure passenger journeys on these routes are completed as smoothly and quickly as possible.)
 +
#'''[[Content management]]'''. The suite of processes and technologies that support the collection, management, and publication of information in any medium.
 +
#'''[[Branding]]'''. The process of creating and marketing a consistent idea or image of a product, so that it is recognizable by the public.
 +
#*[[Elevator pitch]]. “An elevator pitch is a concise, carefully planned, and well-practiced description about your company that your mother should be able to understand in the time it would take to ride up an elevator.” (Source: Business Know How) Being able to pitch your idea is crucial for entrepreneurs and valuable in any formal or informal networking situation.

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). The Course is designed to introduce the learners to general concepts in business administration, management, and organizational behavior.
