Here are some resources/references/publications on Experience Design that were used to develop a Tutorial at CSCW 2011 in China that Elizabeth Goodman, Marco de Sa and I prepared and delivered. Thanks to all Facebook friends who offered suggestions.
CAVEAT: This is NOT an exhaustive list obviously; there are some excellent resources out there. These just happen to be some we used when creating the tutorial. We also drew on some of the content that was taught at a workshop at UX Week 2010.
