The document discusses context modeling for web development. It covers analyzing elements of context like personal profiles, backgrounds, and content needs to develop context models. Context models inform content planning, creation and governance. The presentation provides examples of developing user personas and context-driven content strategies, plans and assets. Understanding user contexts is important for effective engagement and addressing how people think differently based on various contextual factors.
Content without context is useless. Content works best when it accounts for user behaviours, situations and the world around them. But how can it do that?
This presentation discusses the methods of context analysis: Personal-Behavioural Context, Personal-Situational Context, and Ambient Factors, and examines how to implement this research, to create the basis for a context-rich content strategy.

Understanding the Business Value of Content Strategy (TUG Open House)Daniel Eizans
Slides from the Ann Arbor (Oct. 2013) and Grand Rapids (Nov. 2013) Understanding Group Open Houses. The importance of realizing how content strategy helps to enable an organization's core values. Hat tip to Jonathan Coleman for the inspiration for this talk.
Making Places with Information Architecture & Content StrategyDaniel Eizans
Whether we realize it or not, UX is largely the art of tailoring the experiences we design to our content: its semantics, hierarchies, relationships and meaning. Some of the most important work necessary to successful experiences happens before anyone starts to sketch an interface.
This half-day workshop allowed participants to explore perspectives on how IA and Content Strategy provide important context that shapes user-experiences we design and allowed them to learn new tools, techniques, and strategies for designing content-aware interfaces.
Patching Our Crumbling Foundations Through Information ArchitectureDaniel Eizans
With more Internet connected devices than people in the world, there has never been a more important time for information architecture. Now more than ever, the world needs unprecedented collaboration from all of IA's sub-disciplines to shore up the crumbling foundations our digital experiences are being expanded upon.
We can do this by focusing on "what" before "how" in terms of the experiences we create. We can patch these crumbling foundations and make them more organized and capable for a demanding future if we focus more on the foundations of IA.
Mental Modelling For Content Work (Confab London 2013)Daniel Eizans
We typically use mental models when we’re starting to brainstorm a design, but why stop there? We can also use them to inform story mapping, content planning, and long-term governance of digital systems over time. This talk presents an alternative (or extension) to the traditional mental model by focusing on different aspects of the digital experience.
Designing For Distributed Content ModelsDaniel Eizans
If we want to have content that's prepared for future technologies, is ready for shifting user and device contexts and is appropriate for machines and humans, we must change our patterns of thinking in Interaction Design. This presentation calls for a content out approach to design and begins examining tools and tactics to achieve this method.
Sixty-one percent of CEOs, CFOs and other senior executives take daily game breaks while at work. More than 183 million people in the United States describe themselves as active gamers (individuals who in surveys report that they play computer or video games "regularly" - on average, thirteen hours per week).
With this significant dedication of time and resources to virtual worlds, isn't it high time we start bringing elements of gaming into the boardroom?
Context As A Content Strategy: Creating More Meaningful Web Experiences Throu...Daniel Eizans
This presentation attempts to begin to define how content strategists can evaluate and plan for content through a more specific contextual lens through examining how the brain processes, accesses and stores information and what factors content strategists can begin to consider when planning for supporting content and creating deeper, more meaningful content plans across multiple devices (iPad, Smart Phone, Laptop, Desktop, Etc.).
