It is more often the case that they have been overruled by designers who prefer it to look pretty rather than work well and/or other stakeholders that don't want time 'wasted' on anything over a bare minimum framework. | |

| Jun 14, 2012 at 16:26 | comment | added | Jay | Agreed. Interestingly enough, most people game the system anyway. Skipping the learning part and going straight to the assessment. | |
| Jun 14, 2012 at 16:21 | comment | added | vzwick | @Jay Make the stakeholders take a couple of courses. That often helps. | |
| Jun 14, 2012 at 16:16 | comment | added | vzwick | @Jay I figured that. For some reason, whenever any type of online course or survey software is needed, a programmer is tasked with absolutely everything from concept and design down to nitty-gritty SQL stuff. Being a programmer, he obviously cares (and knows) a lot more about his DB structure than about UI or UX (I won't even mention didactics). | |
| Jun 14, 2012 at 16:09 | comment | added | Jay | I would tend to agree. We are just pushing uphill until the core experience is fixed. The first time I attempted one of the courses on offer I was shocked at the poor UX. However, this being a large organisation, it is impossible for me to enact change in that area as it would suddenly require consultation with an infinite amount of stakeholders wanting to chip away at the ideas until we ended up with no change or worse. Cynical yes but recognisable to many. Unfortunately I need to attack this from the side. | |
