This paper describes a method I developed to capture in real-time participants' response to streaming content as well as their engagement levels throughout the presentation. The key benefits of this method are:

Capture in real-time users' response to streaming content such as web seminars, tutorials and demos.
Significantly lower time & cost of processing the feedback.
Capture response from any website or application.

I have a proven record of creating innovative, effective user interface frameworks. One of my B2C projects (TicketsNow.com) is referenced in Tim Ash's book 'Landing Page Optimization' [Sybex, 2008]:

“The...website...will have the strongest conversion effects based on the contents of the highlighted featured offers...” [Abbreviated citation]

AxureWorld RoundTables

AxureWorld

I stated AxureWorld in 2009 as an ongoing series of free web events focused on UX prototyping with Axure where UX practitioners worldwide share knowledge, best-practices and techniques.

I believe we learn best from each other; that spreading knowledge really makes the world a better place in ways big and small.

AxureWorld is free and non-commercial. It is not affiliated with AxureRP, although the company is very supportive. I am not affiliated with or compensated by AxureRP in any way shape or form.
