Jarrett, Caroline, Grant, Katie, Wong, William, Kodagoda, Neesha and Summers, Kathryn (2008): Designing for People who do not Read Easily. In: Proceedings of the HCI08 Conference on People and Computers XXII 2008. pp. 201-202. Available online

“Many people do not read easily for all sorts of reasons: social and cultural, because of impairments, or because of their context. Even in the area of impairments, design for people with learning disabilities might be very different from design for people with visual impairments. But many sets of guidelines, such as WCAG 2.0, are promulgated that attempt to provide one unified approach to design. This workshop will attempt to explore issues in design for people who do not read easily: what do we know, what commonalities can we exploit, and what we need to find out.”

Jarrett, Caroline (2008): Label Placement in Forms -- What's Best?. In: Proceedings of the HCI08 Conference on People and Computers XXII 2008. pp. 229-230. Available online

“The details of forms design often absorb unreasonable amounts of designers' time. For example, where should labels be placed? The recent fashion has been to right-justify the labels and place them to the left of the fields -- is that really always the right answer? This talk draws on the author's 15 years' experience of forms design and on recent eye-tracking data.”

Jarrett, Caroline (2005): Proposal outline for a case study session at OZCHI 2005. In: Proceedings of OZCHI05, the CHISIG Annual Conference on Human-Computer Interaction 2005. pp. 1-2. Available online

“What do you do if you're forced to give quick feedback on a product? You know that the best answer would be to run a usability test -- but time or other constraints make it impossible. This session will give you ideas about what to do if you have thirty minutes, and what else to do if you have two days. It is based on actual reviews conducted by the presenter and will be illustrated with 'war stories' about what went right -- and the risks you might run by giving quick feedback.”

Moyes, Jackie, Buur, Jacob, Jarrett, Caroline, Ehn, Pelle, Howard, Steve and Brereton, Margot (2005): Book smarts meet street smarts: the best of both worlds. In: Proceedings of OZCHI05, the CHISIG Annual Conference on Human-Computer Interaction 2005. p. 1. Available online

“This panel will discuss how academia can contribute to industry practice and how industry practitioners can contribute to academia. We will focus in particular on how theories and practices are formed and shaped in different settings. We will discuss when academic theories and practices help industry, when and why they are discarded, and how they are transformed in industry settings.”
