Social Design Patterns
In the first half of the session, Erin and Christian will present a family of social web design principles and interaction patterns to help user experience designers and strategists grapple with the social dimensions of their products and services.
In the second half of the session, we will invite the audience to learn about designing social interfaces through an interactive, collaborative, and competitive game.
