Skyward, Inc. and Gomoll Research collaborate on School Management System

Tuesday, October 11th, 2011

We recently collaborated with Skyward, Inc. on a project:

Skyward, Inc., an industry leading K-12 school administration software provider, has announced that it will unveil a redesigned web user interface (UI) for its industry-leading School Management System. The new UI will provide users with greater ease of use, flexibility and efficiency and enable them to leverage their existing Skyward investment to the fullest.

Tom Gomoll commented in the article:

Our approach is to focus on the people first and then how we can enable them to use the technology in ways that are most valuable to their day-to-day lives. With that in mind, we designed the new Skyward web UI to meet the unique needs of both large and small districts, and to ensure a user friendly experience for both existing users and new customers.

GRD Podcast with The Thirsty Developer - Designers and Developers

Monday, March 24th, 2008

I work in our Minneapolis Office, but I was in Milwaukee a couple weeks ago, and had the pleasure of speaking with Larry Clarkin of The Thirsty Developer, a podcast for developers. Larry and his colleague Dave Bost host the podcast and find various topics of interest to developers.

Larry heard about Gomoll Research + Design by word-of-mouth, and decided to call on us to discuss how developers can improve their design of products, whether through tips on doing certain things themselves, or through collaborating better with designers. The podcast is about 15 minutes long, and is geared towards designers or developers who work on improving the user experience. I hope you’ll have a listen, feel free to comment here or at the Thirsty Developer site as well.

The GRD Blog

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

If you look on the home page of our website, you’ll see our description:

“We excel in designing elegant product experiences. We’re experts in user-centered design. We can help you conduct field research, understand workflow, develop user models, build prototypes, conduct usability studies, and design humanistic and usable products.”

With that in mind, our blog posts at GRD will be about our shared experiences in our chosen field, user-centered design. Best practices, lessons learned, or thoughts on current design trends are all fair game. We’ll comment on other articles and contribute to the design conversation going on ‘in the field’, and we invite you to join the conversation as well. You can check the site for posts occasionally, or subscribe to our RSS feed.
