As a professor and chair of media technology at the <a title=\"Donald W. Reynolds School of Journalism\" href=\"http:\/\/journalism.unr.edu\" target=\"_blank\">Donald W. Reynolds School of Journalism<\/a> he&#8217;s been teaching local UNR students those answers and more since 2005.<\/p>\n<p>He teaches courses in innovation and usability testing and in designing and building serious games. He holds a master&#8217;s in photography and spent three years producing multimedia for one of the web&#8217;s top news sites &#8211; MSNBC Interactive.<\/p>\n<p>His session &#8211; &#8220;Usability Testing: From A to B&#8221; &#8211; will lay out the tools to test your site&#8217;s usability and how to make effective changes. He&#8217;ll also introduce some simple methods to run user testing sessions on your own.<\/p>\n<p>P.S. &#8211; In case you&#8217;re wondering who I am. My name is <a href=\"http:\/\/jbroglio.com\/\">Justin Broglio<\/a> and I&#8217;m a rookie. I started using WordPress three years ago and I&#8217;ve self taught my way through a host of projects. By trade I&#8217;m a writer, but in today&#8217;s jungle it pays to multi-talented so I&#8217;m stoked to be helping out with this year&#8217;s Reno-Tahoe WordCamp. What&#8217;s more, in researching Professor Dailey I learned a heck of a lot about usability testing and I&#8217;m confident you&#8217;ll learn something too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all know that usability is key.
