User Experience Research Lab – Fusion 2025

The UX Research team is back at Fusion again this year with more opportunities to participate in the latest research! Studies are 1-on-1 sessions with a UX Researcher or Product Designer. Session spots are limited, please read the participant criteria carefully to ensure you will be the right fit for the study. Attendees are asked to only sign up for one study, to allow for as many participants as possible.

Didn’t manage to get into a session? Stop by the UX Research Lab in Room 106 at the conference in Savannah! We have some activities you can complete between breakout sessions.

Integration Management

We want to make setting up and managing all integrations an intuitive experience in Brightspace. This year at Fusion we are testing updated concepts we’ve created for setting up and managing all integration types in one place - and we want your feedback. Come test our designs and help us make improvements!

Recommended for: LMS Admins who currently set up and/or manage LTI integrations in their LMS as part of their role responsibilities.

Learning Outcomes

We want to learn more about how you are using learning outcomes (also known as competencies)! We're interested in any barriers you face when putting outcomes into practice and tracking achievement. Sessions will involve a 1:1 discussion with a UX researcher.

Recommended for: Individuals who manage learning outcomes and are confident speaking to the use of learning outcomes across their institution (note: use of the Outcomes/Competencies tools in Brightspace is not a requirement!)

Content Discovery & Re-use

Our team is working on exciting new ways to help you discover, reuse, and share learning content more easily, and we’d love your input! For these sessions, we’ll look at a few content examples together and have you reflect on how you decide which resource is right for your courses – specifically, what information helps you evaluate its relevance and intended use. Then, we’ll discuss what information you include when sharing resources with others, so they can confidently do the same.

Recommended for: Curriculum Admins and Instructional Designers in Higher Education who regularly search for, evaluate, and share learning resources.
