CARD SORTING<br />
Card Sorting is a method used to help design or evaluate<br />
the information architecture of a site.<br />
In a card sorting session, participants organise topics into<br />
categories that make sense to them and they may also<br />
help you label these groups.<br />
Open card sort<br />
Participants sort cards into categories that make sense to<br />
them, and label each category themselves.<br />
Close card sort<br />
Participants sort cards into categories that you give them.<br />
Hybrid card sort<br />
Participants sort cards into categories you give them, and<br />
can create their own categories as well.<br />
For the study in question, hybrid cart sorting sessions<br />
were held.<br />
Hybrid card sorting is especially useful if:<br />
• You have your information architecture partially<br />
complete you are interested in seeing how<br />
participants label and sort the rest of your structure<br />
• You think that allowing participants to create their<br />
own categories will mean less people abandon the<br />
study.<br />
