A decade ago distance learning was experimental at best. Only a few courses were offered online, instructors were often slow to respond, and at the end of it, there was always the chance that employers would scoff at your credentials. With faster internet connections and accredited institutions
It’s hard not to view cryptocurrencies as the architect of the downfall in internet security. Quantifiable digital assets are now more common than ever online, and represent an increasingly attractive prospect for online fraudsters and hackers. Forbes has forecast that cybercrime costs could be set to top $2 trillion in 2019, and
She explained that the original design of the Internet was driven more by considerations of interoperability rather than security, and as a result we are now faced with almost insurmountable issues. Some examples include online criminals who steal our information, mass bandits who have the ability to damage portions of our internal infrastructure

Toggle-Switch Guidelines
Toggles help users update preferences, settings, and other types of information. When using toggles, provide direct labels, use standard visual design, and deliver immediate results. Keep in mind that toggle switches should only be used when the user needs to decide between two opposing states. As you review the use of toggles on your site or app
Mobile: Native Apps, Web Apps, and Hybrid Apps
Dealing with a third party that imposes rules on your content and design can be taxing both in terms of time and money. Native and hybrid apps must pass approval processes and content restrictions imposed by app stores, whereas the web is free for all. Not surprisingly, the first web apps came from publications such as Playboy, who wanted to
How to Report Errors in Forms: 10 Design Guidelines
Forms are necessary components of many applications and websites. We use them to log in, purchase items, send feedback, and enter our personal information. Think about the websites you use and how many times you enter information: how often do you run into errors? How frustrating is it to navigate those errors? Error messages are an indicator of
Image-Focused Design: Is Bigger Better?
The homepage for Microsoft’s search engine, Bing, is another example of extreme focus on imagery, with its ever-changing backdrops. But a site devoted entirely to search has quite different design constraints that most websites. The top priority on this page is to show people the search box, and there is very little need for the design to

Trustworthiness in Web Design: 4 Credibility Factors
The 4 factors of trustworthiness are important to every website, and have remained stable for decades. Even though the specifics of how to meet these trust guidelines have evolved over time, the underlying principles still stay valid. This is why it is always important to see the why behind design guidelines rather than blindly applying them. By
Why Personas Fail
The truth is; Yes, they do already know a ton about customers, so it’s sometimes hard to justify doing research on a body of people you have been working with for years. In these situations, it is beneficial to think of personas and present them as an alignment tool rather than a research deliverable. Everybody knows a lot about the customers
4 Noteworthy Intranet Design Trends in 2019

The intranet shared charts of safety statistics based on
How to Analyze Qualitative Data from UX Research: Thematic Analysis
Writing thought processes and ideas you have about a text is common among researchers practicing grounded-theory methodology.

Popups: 10 Problematic Trends and Alternatives
A popup displayed right after the user logs in is just as bothersome as one shown before the page content loads. When users log in to an account, they have a next step or subsequent task in mind — or else why would they have logged in?!

The Most Hated Online Advertising Techniques
To understand how ads compared with each other, we ran multiple comparison tests (using Tukey contrasts). We found that, for most advertisement types, the mobile and the desktop counterparts did not differ significantly, with the exception of related links and the prevideo advertisement (p< 0.0001). For the desktop prevideo ad, users could skip
The perceived popularity of a piece of content was also used as a clue for judging whether that content was personalized. Our participants tended to assume that trendy or talked-about items were shown to everybody; in contrast, niche or less mainstream content was more likely to be judged as specific to the individual, as was content clearly

As his pillaging continued and Blackbeard grew in craftiness, he realized it would be prudent to extend the essence of his menacing nature from afar. He devised a tool to extend his message — an early version of the skull-and-crossbones pirate flag we all know well today. The flag served as Blackbeard’s personal brand mark — his logo. It

However, every IoT system is not the same and is not necessarily apt for all applications. As a matter of fact, they are akin to us humans. Every individual is great at something. You cannot expect an actor to fly an aircraft and a pilot to act in a film. Similarly, you cannot expect a single IoT system (and device) to do everything. Hence

I also find it strange that there is little visual integration between the video area and the interaction area.

Usability Testing of Advanced Homepage Concepts (by Jakob Nielsen)

I have often predicted that Internet Explorer version 8 will be the first decent Web browser.
