Cake user-centred design and content e-learning 🍰

Fancy brushing up your user-centred design skills this weekend? Or satisfying your curiosity about #ContentDesign? Browse our 17 bitesize online lessons on various UCD topics, from iterating to task-based content, or take our content design pathway. cakeconsultancy.com/product-catego… 🧁

Going through @CakeBitesize content training - some great practical tips e.g. on use of bold and tone - that I haven't seen so explicitly written down before (it's somewhat implicit in other style guides)

Read user feedback on our courses. Our ridiculous ‘buy both’ offer is valid until 20 June. £47.50 for 22 modules of #UserCentredDesign and #ContentDesign e-learning. Then we’re merging them, and adding topics! The price’ll go up. Take advantage now? cakeconsultancy.com/feedback 🍰

@efnishonnudur Would probably add your review to this page, or link to it from there… cakeconsultancy.com/2022/11/11/hom…

@efnishonnudur There isn’t a review function on Blurb – so I’ll add it as a post or news item on my Cake website. Oh yes that would be great to hear about!

Room 1 stage 1 @CakeContent

@efnishonnudur That’s great Neil! Glad it’s had a good affect on your experience of the spaces! If you’d like to write a review or the book/manual I’d be thrilled. Could be a nice January thing to do.

@CakeContent update: moved the nicest piece of furniture in the house from this room to another room, because it wasn't getting used in here. More space in here and now it's getting loads of use in its new home - both rooms improved with minimal effort!

Friends in UX/Product/Digital work: have you ever PAID for any self-serve or self-paced online training, guides, workbooks or other advice or consultancy resources? If so, what was it? (NOT conferences but a digital product or package you pay money for?)

Good courses from @GDSTeam in #Agile #digital and #UserNeeds, for public sector folk: #winding-down-of-gds-academy-services" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">gov.uk/guidance/gds-a…

@stevenjmesser @deanorhodes @cholten99 @GDSTeam Modules... cakeconsultancy.com/product-catego…

Really disapointed @GDSTeam has wound down GDS Academy without a blog post explaining why or how they expect similar training to be provided to civil servants in the future. Is anyone even doing Service Manager training now?

Reckon these courses from @CakeContent look extremely good value if you're looking for an intro to UCD or content design

A prototype should be quick, dirty and disposable. A product should be thoughtful, intentional and useful. This means building in accessibility and centring equity in our decisions.
