Learn to learn Have Doubts E 'paradoxical, but the sites for learning purposes of the biggest names in software ... are unusable without instructions!
talks about the new portal dedicated to Adobe eSeminar
and that of Microsoft dedicated to
events.
The first presents a front-end in which the ancient navigation sinister acts as a pretext for the implementation of puerile entertainment.
The design is bad, but what is more serious and that it is inconvenient to search for seminars and even more to join.
There are, moreover, the bug (obtained with a simple search after selecting a free eSeminar):
The second, as tradition for the Colossus of Redmond, has a complexity of navigation and selection of the (many) subjects, in order to discourage use.
To give a few examples:
- the selection of an event (this is a convention rather than a webcast) requires filling out a registration form dense preceded by the words:
"Please fill out the form below line. If you do not want to send information, click Cancel. "
Uhm ... ok, then what happens? I think ... ok, you see that it is not necessary to fill out the form to access the resource. Wrong. The 'Cancel' you back to the event page.
So I wonder, would not have been easier direct and proclaim: "To complete the registration at the event please complete the following online form and give the same button" Cancel "to mean" do not send the information? "!
- Fantastic system to search for events and webcasts: a jumble of monumental search filters, all at the same level, inadequate to finding what you need.
I should explain what is the field "Location" for the webcast ... and what is it outright on the "end date" ... and why the fields devoted to the content (what really matters) are relegated to the bottom.
Moreover, the result set is not typed (I can not distinguish between an event and a live webcast until I ask for details) and is not refined by any of the mechanisms now being adopted in the modern world of Web2.0!
How much effort to learn how to learn ...
