Content Curation is My Superpower – What’s Yours?

eduiconf — Fri, 26 Aug 2011 12:23:03 +0000

So much web content sucks. Who will save the web from page after dreary page of lifeless, disjointed prose, and posts that go to die in huge sites? What we need is a hero to sort through this mess and save us from ourselves and our severely lacking content cycle. Enter content strategy!

Gasp as content strategy stops the speeding bullet of pointless pages. Thrill as content strategy uses x-ray vision to scan and assimilate your copy. Swoon as content strategy swoops to catch your writers as they meander from the point and into a ravine of redundant, outdated, trivial content. Watch agog as content strategy sets up a workflow to ensure there is always a fresh flow of consistent and creative content to your sites. Cheer as content strategy saves us from last minute panic about content while rescuing the kitten from the burning building!

You’ll learn how to audit content, create guides for content creators, create a workflow for editing and commissioning content, identify good and bad content, draft good copy, create meaningful error messages, govern existing copy, and work with and as part of a team creating content.

Sustainable Design

eduiconf — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 18:23:22 +0000

Sustainable design: it goes beyond the environment. 95% of the designers who have ever lived are alive today, and so it’s up to us to decide what our profession will be about. We live in a time of great fragility, yet there has never been more hope, and designers have never had so much power.

For the majority of humanity the Internet remains a rumor, but by the end of this decade most humans will be online. What will we choose to share with them: our style addictions … or ideas the world really needs to share? We can change the world. Let David Berman, author of Do Good Design, show you how. Design matters like never before, and the future of civilization is our common design project. Don’t just do good design, do good!
