Event: Sorting Things Out with William Hudson (14 June 2005)

Everything you've always wanted to know about card sorting

Card sorting is a powerful technique in eliciting users' understanding of a problem domain. It is particularly helpful in navigation design and information architecture. William Hudson describes the basic principles of card sorting and cluster analysis, including more advanced interpretation of results and an innovative approach combining the best features of paper sorting with computer processing.


A live card sort will be performed!
