STC Summit 2016

Join us to explore the idea of the attention-comprehension gap, which is an approach to information design that focuses on creating a balance between drawing user attention to specific content and their comprehension of that content. The objective is to present a new approach to usability testing and design that allows technical communicators to create materials that draw and hold the user's attention while conveying information effectively and easily understood. We will introduce how to create methods of assessing usability based on balancing these aspects of gaining user attention and assuring comprehension of information in a way that facilitates the effective design of different materials.
