《用户界面设计：有效的人机交互策略（第6版 英文版）》在设计方法中引入了案例研究。重新调整了对社会媒体参与和用户生成内容部分的介绍，尤其是来自移动设备的部分。对《用户界面设计：有效的人机交互策略（第6版 英文版）》的每个章节都进行了大量的校订，修改了所有插图，大幅更新了参考文献。
紧跟人机交互变革的脚步很困难。本书每一版刚出版不久，更新的要求就接踵而至。该领域的扩展促使本书前三版的作者BenShneiderman求助于其长期、重要的研究伙伴CatherinePlaisant，以合著本书的第四版和第五版。此外，MaxineS.Cohen和StevenM.Jacobs对本书的早期版本有长期的教学经验，他们为所有读者和教师提供了提高书的内容质量的新观点。
