Young, who will provide participants with an overview of various UX research methods, including attitudinal, behavioral, quantitative, and qualitative. He will then dive deeper into A/B testing, guiding participants through the A/B testing process with specific real-world examples and results that demonstrate user experience improvements for a library website.
