Course overview

We humans create enormous amounts of information and the pace is increasing all the time. A large part of this information is “consumed” or used via digital services and channels. Structuring and categorizing information is therefore a vital part of service development.

This is what information architecture is all about – digital information management and structural design to promote usability.

This training is part of Informator’s large UX Training Program

Course Objective

Key terms and concepts in information architecture.
The importance of information architecture.
Tools that can be used to plan, define and evaluate information architecture.

Metadata, taxonomies and search functionality based on user situation and needs

More about the course

The information architecture basically consists of three components;

Organize
Structuring and organising information appropriately

Navigate
Provide users with an efficient and effective way to navigate and find the information they want

Name
In order for information to be understandable and findable, it needs to be given names and concepts that are “right” for the users.

In this course, we work with these three areas. The course consists of many practical examples and exercises. We focus on how we can create an information architecture that gives the user a positive experience (UX) of our service.

Course content: Information architecture
