Hello, The Center for Digital Experiences at Pratt Institute is now seeking community partners for Spring 2021 projects!
We are looking this semester for museums and other cultural organizations to work with during some of the UX research courses at Pratt Institute, specifically Digital Analytics, Usability and Museum Digital Strategy. All projects are offered at no cost but will require a moderate degree of involvement to ensure that your needs are satisfied while also providing a valuable educational experience for students. This involvement typically includes one or two meetings with the students during the project and attendance at students’ final presentations at the end of the semester. Please note that all Spring 2021 project activities and meetings will be virtual/remote. In the *Digital Analytics* course, students will work in small groups of 3-4 to gather and analyze behavioral data from your organization's available analytics platforms and identify insights and recommendations for improving your users' experience. At the conclusion of the project, you will receive a formal evaluation report and a dashboard along with recommendations. In the *Usability* course, students carry out a study of a website doing user testing. Students recruit the participants, prepare and conduct the tests, and write a report at the end of the semester with their findings and recommendations. In the *Museum Digital Strategy* course, students will work together as a class to undertake an internal and external strategic analysis of your digital activity and define a digital strategy and action plan for your museum. These client-based course projects offer students practical experience applying UX skills while also helping our community partners better understand their users’ needs and make their digital products more user-friendly.
