The card sorts were conducted to inform the redesign of the University of Miami Interactive Media website navigation. 16 participants sorted 60 items from the current website into categories. The data was analyzed to identify relationships between items and inform recommendations. Key findings included items related to admissions being critical and grouped together. International student information, academics like courses, and tuition/financial aid were also important. Items like donors, Slack, Github were unclear or unimportant to many. The analysis informed recommendations to simplify academics categories, move tuition, and focus key areas on the homepage.
1. UM Interactive Media Program
Website Redesign
Directive & Cautious Card Sort Report
CIM 622: UX Research Methods 2/15/16
2. Introduction
This is a digital open card sort study completed to inform the navigational
design for UM’s Interactive Media Website.
The card sorts were directive and cautious, allowing participants to take their
time to carefully consider and group the 60 items given to them.
The card sorts were conducted to examine how people would group items
currently on the Interactive Media website of University of Miami.
4. Methods
We conducted open card sorts with 16 participants, 8 males and 8 females.
The card sorts were directive and cautious
We conducted the card sorts in person using a digital program called xSort
The participants completed the card sorts on a Mac laptop provided by the
moderator
While the card sort was in progress the moderator took notes with pen and
paper
After all of the card sorts were completed the data was analysed to provide
recommendations informing upon the design of the UM Interactive Media
5. Methods: Equipment
UM Interactive Media Website: used as a
resource for card items
Xsort: a software used to conduct card sorts
and collect data
Excel: used to combine data and calculate
outcomes
Google Docs and Sheets: used to compile
information
Google Slides and PPT: used to create report
Notebook and Pen: used to write notes during
card sort
Phones: used to take pictures
Researcher Toolkit Document: a reference we
created to assist with card sorts
Demographic Survey: created to discover
basic information about participants
Physical tools:Digital tools:
6. Methods: Procedure
2/8-2/10
● Generated a list of 60 items based off the UM Interactive Media Website
● Created a demographic survey to collect information about our participants
● Wrote a researcher toolkit to assist us during the data collection process
● Downloaded and tested Xsort, the program we used to conduct our card sorts
7. Methods: Procedure
2/10-2/12
● Conducted directive and cautious open card sorts with 16 participants
○ Before beginning the card sorting exercise, we asked participants to complete a demographic survey
○ After the survey was completed we gave participants these instructions:
■ We appreciate your help in identifying the categories of information that should be on the University of Miami
Interactive Media Website home page or second-level pages, and what those categories should be called. We
want to see what groupings of cards make sense to you. Once you have grouped the cards, you will name each
of the groups. Take your time and carefully consider the items to be sorted.
■ If you have questions during any point of the exercise, please do not hesitate to ask and I will do my best to
answer your questions. During the exercise, I ask you to “think out loud”, so as to better glean an understanding
of your thought process. Do you have any questions before we begin?“
○ After starting the session, we took note of the participant’s thinking process, card groupings and any questions or
comments that surfaced during the exercise.
8. Methods: Procedure
2/12-2/14
● Compiled data into one Xsort file
● Analysed data to discover how the navigation of the UM Interactive Media
website can be improved
○ Used Xsort program to generate distance matrixes and tree diagram
● Used our data to inform redesign recommendations
● Compiled all of our data into a report

16. Data Analysis: Prioritized Categories across participants
● Groups related to the Admission process were critical to participants
● Courses or Academics were important to participants
● 6 participants did not classify any of their groups as unimportant
● Of the participants who did classify a group as unimportant 4 believed groups with awards were
unimportant and 7 believed groups with partnership opportunities or donors were unimportant
● Of the 16 participants, 14 believed the items related to the application process were critical
● Many participants also found items related to tuition to be critical
● Items related to academics and Jobs and Internships/opportunities were also most often found to
be important or critical
17. Data Analysis: Distance Matrix Across Participants
Item: “Donors” vs. all
● not matched together with 83% of items
Item: “Opportunities for alumni” vs. all
● not at matched together with 78% of items
○ Clear relationship with collaborating institutions,
opportunities for alumni, and partnership
opportunities.
20. Data Analysis: Interpretation of Data
Clear relationship between collaborating institutions, opportunities for alumni, and
partnership opportunities.
Most participants were unaware of Slack, Github and Queso
Items related to the application process were generally grouped together
Participants did not know where to group the Frances Wolfson Building
Board games and console games were grouped together with game design
Minor classes and MFA classes were grouped together
Contact information such as email address, phone number and mailing address and
location map were grouped together
23. Recommendations -Homepage
1. Highlight the focus area of the program: UI Design, Data Visualization and Game Design
2. To Increase potential target audience’s attractiveness, add content: Student Project, Student
Awards & Faculty Awards
3. Current students and faculty might have potential interest in participating in recent events,
add: Events Calendar
4. For visitors to visit our school: Location Map
Tree diagram shows close relations among these items:
0.0 0.2 0.4 0.0 0.2 0.4
25. Recommendations -Admissions
1. The key content should be the Application Process Information
2. International Student application information is necessary because of additional requirements
3. Convenient for potential target audience to search information about the program and
admission
Tree diagram shows close relations among these items:
0.0 0.2 0.4
0.0 0.2
27. Recommendations -Academics
1. The current “Minor Curriculum page”, “Programming Core Classes” and “Core Classes”
makes Participants feel confused. In the “M.F.A. Curriculum” page, the difference between
“Core classes” and “Required classes” overlaps.
2. To make these items more clear, it is better to simplify and clarify.
Tree diagram shows close relations among these items:
0.0 0.2
29. Recommendations -Tuition & Aid
1. Currently “Tuition & Fees” is under the
“Admissions” page, it’s easy to miss and
tree diagram shows participants didn’t put
this item under the “Admissions” group.
2. Distance matrix between Item “Tuition”
and Item “Graduate Admission” is around
0.7.
3. Assistantship is a kind of financial aid.
Tree diagram shows close relations
among these items:
0.0 0.2 0.4
0.0 0.2 0.4 0.6
31. Recommendations -About Us
1. Facilities should also include international building.
2. It would be better to categorize equipments into certain courses. Like physical computing, game design, console
game, etc.
Tree diagram shows close relations among these items:
0.0 0.2 0.4 0.6
0.0 0.2 0.4
33. Recommendations -Job & internships, Community
1. Participants tend to put jobs, internships and office for services in a group. What’s more, they
tend to put partnerships, donors and opportunities for Alumni in a group.
2. According to importance rank, around 7 people put items like donors, partnership
opportunities as unimportant.
Tree diagram shows close relations among these items:
0.0 0.2 0.4 0.6
35. Recommendations -Footer
1. Since in the unclassified cards groups, the top three are Queso(6), Github(4), Slack(4), it’s
unnecessary to put these internal tools into the “Resource” group. They make people who are
not familiar with these tools feel confused.
2. Instead of using “Resource”, it is better to use “Social Media” for Twitter and LinkedIn.

40. Researcher
Packet
Prompt given to participants (after filling out the
questionnaire):
“Thank you for your willingness to participate in this study.
We appreciate your help in identifying the categories of
information that should be on the University of Miami
Interactive Media Website home page or second-level pages,
and what those categories should be called. We want to see
what groupings of cards make sense to you. Once you have
grouped the cards, you will name each of the groups. Take
your time and carefully consider the items to be sorted.
If you have questions during any point of the exercise, please
do not hesitate to ask and I will do my best to answer your
questions. During the exercise, I ask you to “think out loud”,
so as to better glean an understanding of your thought
process. Do you have any questions before we begin?“
Moderators were asked to document the following during their card sorting
sessions:
Total time of test:
Relevant observations relating to the time taken by participant.
Take note of the participant’s thinking process:
● Are they confident in their choices?
● Do they appear confused?
● Do they ask questions? What questions?
● Do they seem comfortable with the interface?
○ Pay attention to whether the participant is comfortable, if they seem
uncomfortable, let them take a break, get some water etc.
Take note of the card groupings:
● Are there any items left unclassified? If so, what is the reasoning behind this?
● How many groups are there by the end?
Take note of usable quotes (questions and comments that surfaced during the exercise).
Additional notes (body language, tone, preferred terminology, etc.)
Document the process when appropriate (pictures).
At the end of the session, thank the participant for participating in the study.
“Thank you for your patience and time to participate in our study today. We appreciate
your help.”
41. Observations
International students took longer to sort the cards, the average card sort taking 70 minutes
Teachers from UM took less time to sort the cards, the average card sort taking 30 minutes.
When participants first started the card sort they immediately looked for items that shared commonalities.
For example, they looked for items starting with “MFA” or ending with “Deadline”, “Submission” and
“Application”.
International students might have trouble understanding the meaning of some items. P1 and P4 felt
confused when they did not know the meaning of words. For example, P3 didn’t know what “Eye tracking”
was and P4 did not know what an assistantship is.
42. Observations
Items related to the application process were generally grouped together.
Most participants had few problems using Xsort.
What Is Queso? was a question that was often asked during card sorts.
Participants were unsure of what to do with the Frances Wolfson Building
Many participants were also unsure what Github is. Because of this it was often left as unclassified.
43. Participant Comments
“I Don’t Know What Canelink is”
“What the heck, Queso is cheese”
“Slack does not go anywhere to me”
“International student transcripts should go with the english proficiency exams”
“Queso? Is that just a word”
“What is the Wolfson Building? I don’t think most people would know what that is”
“The first thing I would want to look at is how to get in like application submission, application fees and MFA application process”
“There are so many things related to international students I am going to make an international category”
“To me it makes sense that all of the MFA things would go together”
I am going to add student projects to accomplishments because they are probably things being worked on now”
“I chose to put put everything you would need in the application process into an application process group”
” What does cables & connectors mean? Is for students or faculties to check out these items or is the equipment for course and
research? If they are equipment, there should be a category for physical computing equipment.”
44. Participant Comments
“Why there are items about smartphones and cable connectors? It’s so weird? Something like U print? Need to be download?”
“Why they have Wolfsen Building, UX Lab but they don’t add International Building?”
“What’s student project? Is it a display of students’ projects or is it a class assignment?”
“What’s Queso?”
“What’s Eye contracting equipment? A camera or a Eagle eye”
“Why this website don’t have links to other departments? Like PR, Communication and Motion pictures?”
“What’s Opportunities for Alumni?”
“What is social impact design? Is it a class?”
“What is student project? I don’t know how to categorize this item. Is a student works display or topics of your major?”
“What’s difference between Programing core classes and core classes?”
“It’s so weird. Why there is a event calendar here?”
“Jobs” don’t have anything to do with students.”
