"Situating itself in the technical and professional communication discipline, this edited collection provides case studies from various points of instruction and curricular design to illustrate how a user experience (UX) methodology provides invaluable insight into understanding and including student-users. Drawing on research on student-users as they developed student-user profiles, journey maps, diary entries, course reflections, and affinity diagramming, among other artifacts, the authors of the chapters in this book argue that UX design is not only a worthy practice, but also a necessary one.
