Re-thinking Usability and UXD: Examining Connections to Global Content Design, Technical Communication, and Localization

As technologies evolve and cultures and societies change, the contexts in which individuals access and use information continually shift in new and often unexpected ways. This situation means what constitutes usable designs is also in a continuous state of change. Such factors influence – and are influenced by – practices in technical communication, content design/content strategy, and localization. For these reasons, we need to continually review, reflect on, and – if needed – revise our approaches to these areas. Such processes should include regular examinations of how these fields overlap and how each influences and is influenced by the others.
