I’m happy to announce the launch of Future Practice Webinars that Smart Experience is producing in partnership with Rosenfeld Media. Here’s the first two:

• November 13 (1-2pm EST): Modern Web Form Design with Luke Wroblewski. [details/register]
• December 11 (1-2pm EST): Using Mental Models for Tactics and Strategy with Indi Young. [details/register]

Why webinars? Well, there’s a few reasons.

1. Ever since I started Smart Experience I’ve heard from people around the world that they want this education where they are, so this is one channel to help them get it.
2. Whether we’re in good economic times or the current lousy situation, less expensive products make sense, and we can offer webinars less expensively than in-person classes.
3. They’re better for the environment than all students emitting carbon in order to convene in one place, and I just can’t ignore that aspect of doing business any longer.
4. As our world becomes more complex, the tactical and the strategic bleed together. If you look at something like an e-commerce website you’ll see the business model, e-commerce functionality, and interaction design have to reflect one another, and practitioners need to understand that whole system. We call this service Future Practice Webinars because they address both tactics and strategy for the practitioner.
