Objectives:

Participants in this tutorial will:

• Learn new terms and concepts to understand mobile user-centered design, personas, use-scenarios, and especially information-design theory, motivation-theory, and persuasion-design theory.
• Learn how these concepts relate to the design of mobile user-interface components (metaphors, mental models, navigation, interaction, and appearance).
• Learn practical trade-offs from studying competitive analyses and case-study results of at least four detailed concept-design prototypes

Content:

The tutorial reviews four case studies of mobile persuasion design for smart phones and tablet concepts that combine information design and motivation/persuasion design to change people’s behavior. Each case study will review the subject matter, personas and use scenarios, information architecture, wirefames and detailed screen designs, as well as evaluations. Special attention will be given to dashboards, roadmaps, focused social media, just-in-time tips/advice, and incentives (awards, rewards, games, nostalgia shops, points, workshops, etc.) Case studies include the Green Machine, the Health Machine, the Money Machine, and the Story Machine. Other case studies may be mentioned/shown, depending on time available: the Travel Machine, the Innovation Machine, the Learning Machine, the Driving Machine, the Happiness Machine, and the Marriage Machine.

Target Audience:

The tutorial is appropriate for:

1. people who are new to the topic
2. people who have some experience with the HCI and/or mobile UX design, persuasion design and the subject-matter areas covered
3. people who have lots of experience with HCI and/or mobile UX design, persuasion design, and the subject-matter areas covered
