Teaching at school vs Teaching at workspace
Apart from teaching at university, I had also done internal UX workshops at my workspace in hopes of promoting UX practices. I observed that participants had very different expectations at workspace.
At workspace, colleagues were more interested in knowing how the practices would affect their workflow and did that bring them extra benefits. That’s why a large part of the workshop would be demonstrating with practical methods how UX design could address their concerns and help them achieve their targets.
While at school, my main objective was to promote UX design to the students. To make them like UX design, I added much more fun and interactive elements.
