Topic:
Using Ethnography to Make APIs Usable
Program:
On Friday, December 17, Maria Vidart-Delgado, Senior UX Researcher, and John French, Senior UX Designer & Front-End Specialist with Ad Hoc LLC, joined the CCSQ HCD Community of Practice to help us explore APIs and human-centered design.
During the Community of Practice, attendees explored:
- APIs as digital products that are built, maintained and consumed collectively.
- The use of ethnography as a practical approach to researching the communities that use APIs and their end-products, understanding their information needs, and how they use the APIs.
- Designing API functionality to answer end-user information needs, real-life questions, and easy-to-understand information architecture and documentation.
