Those who develop and interact with cutting-edge technologies are often faced with questions such as: Why are we building or using this solution? How can these solutions be shaped to be people-first instead of technology-first? How can these technologies be leveraged to solve grassroots-level problems? What would a meaningful process for identifying explicit and implicit user needs look like?
This is where human-computer interaction (HCI) processes come in. IEEE SA is hosting a Designing Inclusive, Human-Centered Products webinar series to bring awareness to this topic and help answer the above questions.
Who Should Attend the Webinar Series?
Professionals, enthusiasts, and students in human-computer interaction (HCI) and user experience research and design are welcome to attend.
We also welcome computer science, AI, ML, IoT, electronics, and electrical engineers and technical product managers who are curious to understand the types of processes they can adopt toward building solutions to address user needs.
What Will You Learn From This Webinar?
- What user experience research is and why it is a product differentiator
- The impact of user research and its crucial role in end-to-end product development cycle
- Real-world examples of how people-centered solutions were created that solved real user needs instead of technology-first solutions

Designing and Shaping User-Centered Solutions for Our Next Billion Users (NBU)
Every week, millions of people come online for the first time. And everyone — no matter their location, language, or digital literacy — deserves an internet that is made for them.
At IEEE SA, we are building a community of experts and leaders to exchange ideas and come up with a proposal for standards through the formation of the User-Centered Approach to Designing a User Interface for Rural Communities Industry Connections (IC) Activity.
In this webinar, we invite speakers from Google’s Next Billion Users (NBU) team to share their methodologies for designing and building new zero-to-one products that are both relevant to their needs and usable in their context.

User Research for Ideating Inclusive Products & Services
Building meaningful digital products that people want to use is hard. Have you ever met someone who used a product you’ve built? Have you ever thought about whether you have actually improved things for them in useful and elegant ways? How would you know it?
By collaborating with user experience research, the products you build can go from good to great. So what does a user experience researcher do, and why should an engineer care?
In this webinar, Brooke Baldwin will share her 20+ years as a user experience researcher conducting studies in countries like Brazil, India, Indonesia, Turkey, Russia, and more. She’ll also share how she has worked in collaboration with engineers and what that impact has meant.
