Moving Towards an Ethics Framework and Taxonomy for UX Design
Ethics in user experience design has become a prevalent topic in recent years. But from a pragmatic perspective, what are the ethical issues and considerations we must take into account as designers? And, how do we approach design while also considering the long-reaching effects of our decisions? This presentation will explore ethics in UX design placing emphasis on the importance and impact of ethics in design. Ethical issues are not always evident in the design process only becoming all-to-evident upon release of a product or feature. Having an understanding of the types of ethical issues resulting from UX design decisions gives us a foundation for understanding and moving towards a taxonomy and framework to aid designers in evaluating concepts at the point of design.
