Calling all educators! Doing some research for @Skyward_Inc. If you allow students to retake work for the chance at a better grade, do you always use the last score?

[Casey Thompson @cjesign]

@SkywardPRGuy @LeadWithCulture Thought you would pick this one up Avery. Guess I gotta be the guy.

[Casey Thompson @cjesign]

@LeadWithCulture The real hero of this project is being able to use the custom filters! Kudos to Eric for crushing those from scratch! 🤘Rockstar🤘

@LeadWithCulture Easy to prioritize with that kind of feedback! Time to help some folks day get a little easier.

@MiraTeachMe @DougCollinsUX We have this type of search functionality for our online "help center" which helps our users find topics they are searching for very quickly. It usually populates a relevant topic after 3 characters! #uxchat

@LeadWithCulture Had a lot of fun with this one 😀 happy to make the vision come to life! Thanks for all the feedback early on & the freedom throughout to make this one possible!

[Casey Thompson @cjesign]

@annesmiless @trello Same here, really excited to try it out though!

[Casey Thompson @cjesign]

@DougCollinsUX @DougCollinsUX Thanks for hosting today! Great job. 👍👍

A3: "Roach Motel" is pretty a common #DarkPattern I see. (Making it extremely easy to join / subscribe, and making it nearly impossible to unsubscribe. Amazon was a great example as seen in this great video. https://t.co/0YQFbziQEl #uxchat

[Casey Thompson @cjesign]

@DougCollinsUX Hmm, I'm not sure! I really believe in leading "up the chain" as an effective strategy / requirement of the job. I hope all UXers are right there with me!

[Casey Thompson @cjesign]

A2: I've luckily not been in this position yet. But I also feel if things have progressed to this point, that we have failed long ago as UX practitioners. Education, knowledge spreading, and leadership is required long before we get to this point. #uxchat

[Casey Thompson @cjesign]

@DougCollinsUX @karenbachmann @ojmqd @whatusersdo I think education is a crucial step. We as ux folks are very familiar with these patterns, but many of the people I talk with about them are very surprised to learn about how nefarious un-ethical design can be. #uxchat

[Casey Thompson @cjesign]

@DougCollinsUX I think we do have that responsibility! I often think about the persuasive techniques we employ. I always go by "If the user & the company benefits mutually, it is acceptable. When you get into benefiting the company more than the users.. that is trouble.

[Casey Thompson @cjesign]

A1: With great power comes great responsibility! Our skillsets used un-ethically can be dangerous, and have real life consequences for our users. I feel we are often the last line of defense for users. #uxchat
