November ’s Northern User Experience event, part of the Leeds Digital Festival, is tying in with World Usability Day.

This year’s subject is Education: Designing for Social Change and Derek Foster, Lecturer at the University of Lincoln, will present his current research on social networking usage to reduce domestic energy use.

His keen interest in sustainability and behaviour change using technology will see the talk focus on the power of social media tools such as Facebook.  Following the talk, there will be a discussion led by Derek on the power of social networking in today’s society to bring about behavioural change.

As always it will be held courtesy of SimpleUsability at the Round Foundry Media Centre.
