"Design is not a science, just move things around, until it feels right"

"we use a lot of data to inform our decisions, but we also rely very heavily on iteration, research, testing, intuition, human empathy. It's both art and science....data analytics will never be a substitute for design intuition. Data can help you make a good design great, but it will never made a bad design good." - Margaret Gould Stewart

With the advancement of technology and the use of internet, the fundamental new way of thinking about innovation is -- It's a bottom-up innovation, it's democratic, it's chaotic, it's hard to control. The traditional rules that we have for institutions don't work anymore, and most of us here operate with a different set of principles:

• Deploy or Die
• Pull over Push
• Learning over Education
• Compass over Maps

Learning is a quest. Always more questions than answers; because the more you know, the more you don't know. Keep learning :)

Instead of thinking how to cut cost or minimize spending, lean UX focus on when and how money is spent!!

Business Goals + User Goals + User Interface + Technology = User Experience
Five Planes of UX = Strategy, Scope, Structure, Skeleton, & Surface (from abstract to concrete)

NAEP Uses Video-Game Design for New Technology and Engineering Test

A new interactive test from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) aims to measure students' Technology and Engineering Literacy (TEL). These tasks measure students’ capacity to use, understand, and evaluate technology, as well as their ability to understand technological principles and strategies.
