Week 9.1

Today in class we first wen over our audits that we finished over break and the 4 questions we had to answer. After discussing our answers and showing the site we took the time to make changes to what we had answered previously.We also went over card sorting and started creating our cards for next class. We learned that there are different types of card sorting both open and closed. Open is when participants group cards with no pre-established groups into sections that they believe work together. Then closed card sorting is when you take information based on the open sorting to start off with groups to sort the cards into. These would be based on the observations made during the open sorting of where most participants sort cards into groups they believe work the best.  I think this exercise will help a lot for my website because there are so many main navigation links that need to be sorted into smaller categories and organized in a way that is easier to follow.
