World Usability Day 2013 is presented by the Indiana Chapter of the User eXperience Professionals Association (UXPA) and sponsored by the IU School of Informatics and Computing at IUPUI and its master’s, doctoral and graduate certificate programs in Human-Computer Interaction. Other sponsors include the Center for Information and Communication Sciences (CICS) at Ball State University, Pearson Books, and Gravity Design.
World Usability Day, founded in 2005 by the Worldwide Usability Professionals Association, recognizes that much of today’s technology is often prohibitively complex for the average user. Each year, on the second Thursday of November, more than 200 events in 43 countries are organized to raise awareness of usability among the general public, and train professionals in the tools and issues central to good usability research, development, and practice.
