Title: A Collaborative Approach to Responsive Design
Day/Date: Wednesday, July 10, 2013
Time: 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Location:  Gunston
Session Type: 60 Minute Presentation
Description: While responsive design offers many benefits, there are also drawbacks. These drawbacks may be difficult to perceive for those lacking a firm UX background. At the same time, it may be difficult for UX professionals to understand the relevant considerations from other disciplines. This 60-minute talk is divided into two sections. First, we present recommended responsive design considerations for business strategists, UX professionals and software developers. Second, we show examples of responsive design implementations. While viewing each design, we lead the group through a discussion on how the considerations presented may or may not have been taken into account.
