Explore The Event Site & Register Now!
CCSQ will celebrate its 2nd Annual World Usability Day on November 12, 2020. With an exciting line-up of speakers and engaging topics, this is a virtual conference you will not want to miss!
World Usability Day is a global celebration to focus on the importance of design. This year’s theme, Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (AI), sounds futuristic—but in reality, it is all around us. During our virtual open-house event, we will explore the unique design challenges of AI.
Highlights will include morning and afternoon plenary sessions:
- Cupid Chan, AI thought-leader and speaker with Linux Foundation ODPi, will present Catch Me if You Can – How to Fight Fraud, Waste, and Abuse using Machine Learning AND Machine TEACHING (by human). This session will intersect a technical and design conversation with a real business context: Fraud, Waste, and Abuse.
- AI and privacy experts Dr. Rachele Hendricks-Sturrup and Dr. Sara Jordan from The Future of Privacy Forum will co-present Federated Learning to Collect Mobile Patient-Reported Outcomes. This session will highlight AI technology that focuses on privacy.

Usability studies often include tasks for participants to complete, which are then ranked for perceived difficulty. However, these rankings are often subjective and non-standardized across studies conducted within the same team.
To learn how we might improve task ratings' reliability, we will welcome a special guest speaker Ann M. Aly, a social scientist and UX researcher. Ann will share a 5-level rubric her team created to assess task difficulty for task factors contributing to (non)completion. Interrater reliability testing used Cohen's Kappa (which measures the agreement between raters) to ensure rigor and consistency in rankings.
The presentation will include best practices and practical tips, like:
- How to make task assessments less subjective
- How to keep ratings rigorous, eligible for quantitative assessments, and increase research maturity among team members
- The benefits of a standardized rubric across studies and the importance of developing a shared language into a cross-functional team
- Using detailed task ratings to justify which domains or features require the most resources before release, like a mini heuristic evaluation
- A how-to guide for conducting a quantitative assessment and sample rubric
Ann M. Aly is a social scientist and mixed methods UX researcher at Agile 6 Applications. She is currently teamed with Fearless Solutions to support Human-Centered Design at CMS' Office of Information Technology. Ann firmly believes in keeping the social in social science by centering the perspectives of those whose research her work serves and by making her insights accessible to non-specialists. Before joining Agile 6, Ann conducted research and consulted on higher education, bilingual communities, skill acquisition, and culturally relevant healthcare applications. Ann enjoys caffeinated beverages, remote beaches, and entry-level woodworking when not lost in a spreadsheet or transcript.
