Responsive (and Adaptive) design can sometimes be thought of as the art and science of hammering round pegs into square holes.  Content that isn’t properly structured and controlled with a solid content strategy can struggle to properly adapt to different display contexts. Noz Urbina looks at how CS and UX professionals can work together to engage and please users in a multi-device world. Lessons learned from this session: This session received strong reviews. People were quite engaged by the concept of Adaptive Content. Questions focussed around the IA/CS relationship: How and where is IA handled inside body content and how can teams work together. The answer is generally: much more closely. CSs are both guiding and soliciting the support of IAs to extend real structure and semantics into body content blocks to enable reuse, tranformation and filtering. IA and CS professionals need to work more closesly for Adaptive Content than they would otherwise.

Responsive design can sometimes be thought of as the art and science of hammering
round pegs into square holes. Content that isn’t properly structured and controlled
with a solid content strategy can struggle to properly adapt to different display
contexts. Noz Urbina looks at how CS and UX professionals can work together to
engage and please users in a multi-device world using adaptive content.
Adaptive content is like lego-blocks, allowing you to craft many different perspectives
on your brand from reusable assets.

16. @nozurbinaContent and User Experience
• Great design can’t save
inappropriate content
• The more diverse the interaction
contexts, the more stretched
content will become
• Square peg + round hole =bad
experience

17. @nozurbinaAdaptive Content
• Content designed to adapt for
personalised, contextual delivery
in multi-channel, multi-format,
multi-device scenarios
• Can be:
– Transformed
– Filtered
• Because it’s got:
– No presentation information!
– Structure
– Rich metadata
– Built-in, in-line semantics

18. @nozurbinaAdaptive Content
• Adaptive Content enables contextually-appropriate
experiences by placing more meaningful (semantic)
metadata on small and specific bits of content. The same
asset can be leveraged for diverse situations and
audiences
Traditional Adaptive

19. @nozurbinaWhy Now?
• Omni- and multi-channel scenarios, responsive and adaptive
design, are raising the profile of Content Strategy and
AdaptiveContent
• It forces people to confront real optimisation of the content’s
role in UX
• Users expect more personalisation and brands benefit from
delighting them. Adaptive content enables better UX.
• Without adaptive content, optimising for so many contexts is
too impractical, slow and expensive!

20. @nozurbina
Adaptive content let’s you build many
unique experiences from the same
reusable building blocks
