Company Visit by Our CEIT Department Students

The following is a piece written by one of our students about the company visit:

As 3rd-year students of the Bahçeşehir University Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology Teaching, we had the opportunity to visit the interface development and research company Userspots on Tuesday, 4 April, together with our instructor Assist. Prof. Dr. Yavuz Samur, as part of the CET3028 Multimedia Design and Production in Education course, to learn about "usability." A distinctive office design that makes itself felt right from the entrance, and a spacious area perfectly designed for employees. After meeting the friendly team members who accompanied us, we moved to the room where the presentation would be held. Over the refreshments they had prepared for us, we talked together about what Userspot does, which companies they work with and their goals. It was wonderful that they prepared the presentation with very effective, visually rich and engaging examples and that we held it in a conversational atmosphere. After Userspots owner Mustafa Bey also joined us during the presentation and shared various information, having the opportunity to observe how an interface experience test is conducted live was a very important experience for us. In our observation, carried out on the website Rookie Kids, it was very enjoyable and important to observe live what users and customers pay attention to, what the pros and cons of the interface are, and how a test is conducted. I learned that if I ever have the opportunity to develop a website or an application, I must get support on usefulness and usability from experienced companies like Userspots. We would like to thank the whole team and staff, especially Mustafa Bey, who made it possible for us to have this experience, very much for opening their doors to us and making time for us!
