CRUX

CRUX Contemporary Rhetorics and User Experience research and design lab. Exploring and empowering the user eXperience. Founded 2017

CRUX is a suite of research and development projects located within the Department of Rhetoric and Writing. It is a maker-space in every sense of the concept. We make knowledge through cutting edge research into the user experience. We make learning materials for our online and hybrid courses. We collect digital stories from the community and beyond. We make and test interfaces, from the printed interface of books and magazines to the digital interfaces of websites, blogs, apps, games, and simulations. We make sense of what it means to be a writer when writing takes place not only in conventional formats, but also with emojies, 140-character bursts, videos, and audio.

Would you like to help improve a product in development about historical Little Rock and earn $20 in the process?

My research team and I are conducting research on how to improve the user’s experience with a product in development that deals with photos, maps, and other historical artifacts from the Little Rock area. I invite you to participate in a usability test that asks you to use this new tool on a desktop computer while we observe and take notes on ways the developers may improve the product.
