Interface stands on the shoulders of infrastructure. User experience relies on the foundation systems of information architecture. And, the biggest problem on today's web sites and intranets is findability.
This half-day seminar from Peter Morville covers information architecture from top to bottom, explaining how search and navigation systems can be designed to support and shape user behavior. Topics include:
- Major IA Systems: taxonomies, metadata, organization, labeling, navigation, and search
- Metrics & Methods: measuring success, design methodology, studying users, content, and context
- Ambient Findability: social software, semantic webs, location awareness, and the future of user experience
Each participant will receive an autographed copy of Peter's new book, "Ambient Findability."
Benefits
- Explore the concepts, methods, and tools needed to practice information architecture successfully.
- Learn how to make your web site or intranet more useful, usable, accessible, desirable, credible, and findable.
- See best-in-class examples drawn from corporate, e-commerce, education, and government web sites and intranets.
- Discuss the unique challenges you're facing today with your instructor and fellow attendees.
