Card Sorting - What We Learned
As part of our site evaluation of the Web Administration site, we turned to you - our users - for help. One of the methods we decided to use was a card sort. Card sorting is a usability testing method in which names of items are placed on index cards and participants are asked to [...]Usability Testing, Quick and Insightful
After a recent notification from the Institutional Review Board that usability testing of websites would not need to be reviewed, we were fortunate enough to line up a terrific webinar from Dana Chisnell, co-author of “Handbook of Usability Testing, Second Edition” on June 6th. The webinar focused on doing stripped down usability tests that provide much [...]Favorite Links from May

This webinar will be held on June 3rd, from 1 to 3pm at the CITT classroom and requires an RSVP, as we have limited seating. This webinar features Dana Chisnell, a respected expert [...]Web programming in Perl

Hi Hariet,
If for no other reason than to simply see the campus in Malibu, I have let the marketing pros at Pepperdine University know about your request. I'm confident it would be a productive meeting.
Colin’s question is an interesting one. The notion that organizations may want to use a taxonomy to not only categorize content but to organize it for presentation is something that we’ve run across in the past.
One of our early customers, the Un...
