In a world where everything is getting more complex and we are all experiencing personal information overload, there is a growing need to understand the tools and processes that are used to make sense of complex subjects and situations. These tools aren't hard to learn or even tough to implement but they are also not part of many people's education.
Information Architecture is a practice of making sense. A set of principles, lessons and tools to help anyone make sense of any thing. Whether you are - a student or professional, a designer, technologist or small business owner, an intern or executive - learn how information architecture can help you make sense of your next endeavor.
Youāve worked hard on the information architecture models youāve created but havenāt been able to sell them to the client, or your co-workers. Maybe the conversation around the IA has broken down into an unhealthy debate over semantics. In another scenario, you are tasked with creating a controlled vocabulary for a large organization that has a silo mentality and a lot of legacy content. Where to begin?
These scenarios will sound familiar to most user experience professionals. In this deck, I share my techniques for getting an organization that may have different ideas about how to organize and name content to agree upon a controlled vocabulary.
I also share specific tools in the form of diagrams, beyond the ubiquitous sitemap and wireframe, which communicate complex ideas. And techniques for practicing information architecture with clients collaboratively.
Introduction to Information ArchitectureAbby Covert
Ā
The first class of a 15 week course taught at Parsons, the New School for Design. Covers Information Architecture intents and beliefs as well as a comparison to the related studies of interaction design, content strategy and user research. Lastly, speaking to the role of User Experience in all of these roles.
Language: Your Organization's Most Important and Least Valued Asset (Confab 2...Abby Covert
Ā
Have you ever felt like differences in language were holding your organization back? Perhaps you have tried to standardize language across parts of your organization only to find you have opened a huge can of worms?
The experiences we make for our users are made of language choices. We also depend on language to collaborate with the people we work with. Yet language is most often only tended to when you talk about things like content and copy.
Controlling your organizationās vocabulary is one of the murkiest messes we can take on, but it also might be one of the most impactful ways we can help our organizations.
In this talk, Abby Covert, staff information architect at Etsy, will share with us the strategies and tactics they are using to pay closer attention to language choices they make across both internal and external user experiences.

I want to focus on the soft skills that make someone good at IA. So the lessons here are really about leveling up in skill set. Including:
- Conflict Resolution in IA
- Selling IA to others in your organization
- Improving stakeholder interviews
- Facilitating Low Fidelity Conversation about language
- Visualizing language with simple pictures to get clarity

What terms and concepts do you use to deliver your product experience? What organizational structures do you use to present those terms and concepts? To what degree is the meaning you intend through those choices clear to the person for which you intended it? These are the questions to ask yourself when attempting to make a product make sense to others.
Information Architecture is the practice of making sense of meaning through the consideration of ontology, taxonomy and choreography. In this three hour workshop we will discuss and work through what it means to think about affecting the information architecture of a product.

Put A Label On It: Navigation As Brand--IA Summit 2018Jenny Benevento
Ā
Six months ago at our company if you had asked anyone a question about our main navigation, they would have replied, āThe navigation doesnāt matter. Users only search.ā Navigation was such a low priority we didnāt even keep good statistics on how it led to purchases or if buyers used it. As a result of how people felt about it, our navigation was static for 3 years, which might as well be a decade online, especially for a brand known for trends & quirky style. No one felt ownership of the navigation aside from the taxonomy team who lacked the engineering resources or product manager to take on any changes to it. Regardless of all that, our navigation was generally well regarded by outside research firms and was held up as a best practice example by many in our industry. But we knew it wasnāt what it could be...
That was all until the SEO team identified the navigation as a major contributor to our SEO bad practice. At this point an information architect and a taxonomist were asked to eliminate 50% of the links on the navigation and given carte blanche on how to do that.
We are that information architect and that taxonomist and this talk is our story of not only how we took on that project but also how we managed to make the navigation matter in the process.
Along the way we assembled stakeholders who we thought had useful information & a āstakeā in the navigation and used qualitative and quantitative data to make them realize that the navigation is actually one of the most powerful tools they have when communicating our brand to our users.
Some topics and lessons we want to cover include:
How to design for users while optimizing for machines.
How to provide access to a broad and unique assortment without an overwhelming navigation system
How to decide if less is more.
How to use qualitative and quantitative data to make people care about your project.
How to serve a two sided marketplace without alienating suppliers with our brand choices.
How to introduce our brand to first time users while providing access and structure to our dedicated customers.
How to balance displaying a broad assortment while still being mobile first.
How to make sure your navigation conveys your brand across many cultures and languages
How to balance what executives think the brand is versus what people actually buy on the site.

Abby Coverts presentation at From Business to Buttons in Stockholm, April 15 2016. FBTB is the meeting place for everyone who wants hands-on advice on how to generate business value by creating great user experiences.
As content has become an ubiquitous part of our lives, content strategy has evolved from a modest practice into a global discipline that reaches across existing areas of digital expertise and shapes new opportunities for content specialists. Content design is one such opportunity.
Informed by content strategy, content design has emerged in recent years thanks to the brilliant work of pioneers like the GDS Team at GOV.UK. Where content strategy excels (pun intended) at the meticulous work of enterprise site redesigns and the like, content design is ideal for the iterative sprints often associated with product design.
At its core, content design empowers creative thinkers and systematic doers who understand the nature of interactive content to partner with designers and technologists in order to build amazing digital products that meet the needs of real people. Join Content Director Hawk Thompson to find out how the multidisciplinary design team at Chaotic Moon Studios has incorporated content design into its agile-informed process for product engagements and hear how this emergent discipline is shaping the future of digital content in bold new ways.

Handout for "Proven Presentation Techniques", an InfoComm approved workshop b...Thomas Zangerle
Ā
This workshop will show you how you can transform your ideas into convincing interactive presentations. The most important elements of successful presentations, training sessions and meetings are straightforward to name, but not always quite so easy to implement. It's essential for the presenter to capture and maintain the attention of the audience, to present effectively, create interest, encourage excitement and to captivate the participants. In this training session we will explore how you can increase understanding and retention in a presentation. You will receive background information based on scientific research, about improving communication techniques and about the workings of the brain. You will also see examples of best practices, effective communication, and presentation designs, all of which contribute to the creation of long-lasting impressions.

Many design and usability research methods cater for delving into a focused topic: You set a goal, establish hypotheses, gather data and gain insight to help create the proof, story, a view point, strategy, or whatever you are looking for ā within the given budget and time. However, there can be situations where your research may focus too much on individual ātreesā that it cannot provide much information about the āforestā. For instance, what if you have perfect usability test data to prove the effectiveness of your design, but your client may be more interested to know what types of people would buy the product (and get disappointed to hear that you donāt know)? What if your polite research participants never want to talk with you about negative things about your design? This talk will share a few anecdotes exemplifying the importance of factoring in the space when exploring broader viewpoints to the user research questions, through informal social encounters, serendipitous interactions, and activities that are designed for cross-examining their results.
Why Most Fail in Language Learning & How You Can SucceedJohn Fotheringham
Ā
If an adult fails to learn a foreign language (and most do), most of us assume they simply donāt study hard enough or just arenāt good at languages. Itās certainly true that some learners are lazy, and given the same methods, certain folks tend to pick up languages faster than others. But neither of these is the real issue; both are but symptoms of the underlying problem: 1) crappy methods, 2) crappy materials, and 3) crappy attitudes.

Search is the closest thing we have to a front door, yet it is so often forgotten in the design of user experiences.
Our digital world is becoming more and more like a real place, where we spend our time rather than a tool that we use and put down.
This short talk for Search Love Boston 2013 covers some ways in which user experience and search professionals can better work together to make the internet a better place.
Part one of a three part workshop co taught with Dan Klyn and Christina Wodtke on Feb 7, 2013 at General Assembly in NYC.
ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP
Information architecture (IA) once was practiced as a sort of web-era librarianship. It was about organizing the information contained within websites to make things easier to find and use. But today an increasingly significant proportion of our daily business is conducted digitally. Using a variety of devices, people communicate with one another, search for information and entertainment, make retail purchases, initiate and negotiate business transactions, and more.
This class will explore well-architected digital experiences. What does it mean to architect information? How does the structure of information relate to understanding? How can information architects manage complex information across channels and contexts? What unique value can professional information architects bring to the creation and delivery of products and services? What is the interplay of information architecture and the other disciplines within user experience? This class will provide a broad introduction to a useful set of tools and ideas that provide a framework under which user and business insight can be harvested and used in pursuit of real business goals.

The most prominent ones include an increase in the elderly population, who are more prone to orthopedic conditions such as osteoporosis and arthritis. Moreover, the rise in sports injuries and road accidents are also contributing to the demand for orthopedic devices. Advances in technology and the introduction of innovative implants and prosthetics have further propelled the market growth. Additionally, government initiatives aimed at improving healthcare infrastructure and the increasing prevalence of lifestyle diseases have led to an upward trend in orthopedic surgeries, thereby fueling the market demand for these devices.
