Join Chris Nodder for an in-depth discussion in this video Getting from cards to knowledge, part of UX Foundations: Information Architecture.
Each participant is likely to have sorted the cards into slightly different groups,…and quote those groups slightly different things.…Still, hopefully just from watching the card sort sessions you'll already have…noticed some general agreement between participants.…Or the emotions of maybe two separate ways of looking to a site's contents or tasks.…Now, we want to get a bit more rigorous with our analysis.…We already talked about capturing the raw data in an Excel file.…And turning into a grid of participant card names for each task.…
We could probably have recorded our sort data directly into this grid format after…each card sort session. But it's really useful to have both views,…with the data sorted by group name and also sorted by task name.…Sorting by group name lets you quickly tell how many groups each participant…created, and how large each group was. Sorting by task name let's you know how…many groups or group names participants placed each task into.…Now we have the data in a more compact format, it's time to rationalize those…
