Dan Rubin

[http://www.eduiconf.org/speakers/#dan-rubin] Dan Rubin is a highly
accomplished user interface designer and usability consultant, with over
ten years of experience as a leader in the fields of web standards and
usability, specifically focusing on the use of (X)HTML and CSS to
streamline development and improve accessibility.

His passion for all things creative and artistic isn’t a solely selfish
endeavor either - you’ll frequently find him waxing educational about a
cappella jazz and barbershop harmony, interface design, usability, web
standards, typography, and graphic design in general.

Join Dan for an all day, six hour session,
[http://www.eduiconf.org/session/design-essentials-rubin/] Visual Design
Essentials for Non-Artists, where you'll learn the essentials of visual
design,  solid tricks and techniques to get the  color, typography, and
layout you want, and have a ton of fun  in the process.

Dana Chisnell

[http://www.eduiconf.org/speakers/#dana-chisnell] Dana Chisnell is an
independent usability consultant and user researcher who founded
UsabilityWorks in San Francisco, CA. She has been doing usability research,
user interface design, and technical communications consulting and
development since 1982.

Dana’s colleagues consider her an expert in usability issues for older
adults and plain language. (She says she’s still learning.) Lately, she
has been working on issues related to ballot design and usability and
accessibility in voting.

Dana's all day workshop,
[http://www.eduiconf.org/session/usability-chisnell/] Usability Testing
Without the Scary, will teach you how to put quick-and-dirty usability
sessions together, involve the entire team, and keep everything on schedule
and work within a shoestring budget. You’ll leave the seminar, ready and
anxious to run your own usability tests.

But Wait There's More!
