Welcome to

USER Lab

The USability Engineering Research Lab

of the Department of Computer Science at the University of Saskatchewan


USERLab is dedicated to putting people first in all we do.

USERLab uses the Usability Centered Development Methodology, taught in CMPT 479 / 817,  to focus on providing usability to all users

USERLab led the development of the 11 Accessibility Goals in ISO/IEC Guide 71 Guide for addressing accessibility in standards. These 11 Accessibility Goals (aka Accessibility Principles) apply to all types of "systems with which humans interact as users, either directly or indirectly". These accessibility principles and an approach to applying them is taught in CMPT 480/840.

USERLab has developed 


U of S Computer Science Classes offered by USERLab members in Fall 2016
