This week we had an individual Personas and Scenarios assignment to work on for Tuesday.  I did my P&S on Dylan, a 16 year old high school student who uses the center regularly for school research, surfing the internet, making music and just a place to hang out after school.  Up next our team has to work on putting together our sitemap of the layout for the new site we are putting together.

This week in class:

Tuesday Oct. 7:  We had a lecture on organizing information.  We discussed two of the main types of information architecture, as well as common organizational schemes and structures.  There was also discussion on how someone would search for information, as well as how to implement it into the website logically.  We also discussed why organization is important abd different ways to organize things using different schemes (alphabetical, chronological, geographical, etc.)

Thursday Oct. 9:  We had a guest speaker from PriceWaterhouseCoopers.  The discussion was mainly about the relationship between their company and information architecture.  We talked about the different types of Architecture within their websites (redundancy, usability, etc).  Ms. Lustria had to move the due dates and lectures because she had lost her voice.  Our inclass activity to prepare our teams for a card sorting activity was to begin work on our content inventory for Apalachee Ridge.
