Join Chris Nodder for an in-depth discussion in this video Exploring computer-based reverse sorting, part of UX Foundations: Information Architecture.
As with card sorting, there are software tools to help you present the reverse…sorting cards. Most of these tools also collate and…present the results for you in ways that can help you interpret the data.…The tools normally work by displaying the top level items in your information…architecture as a menu. Participants are given tasks and asked…where they'd expect to find the answer. When participants select a certain item in…the menu, the tool displays a sub-menu of the items in the next level of the hierarchy.…This way it's possible to track where each participant says they would expect to find…the items you specify. The two main ways that people use computer…based reverse sorting are to automate a paper card sort session, or to make it…possible to run online reverse sorts. As with online card sorts, there are…several benefits to conducting a reverse sort online.…
It might give you access to more of your users, and some tools allow participants…to complete the sort in their own time. You send a link in an email to each…
