Abstract

Netsorting is a web based cardsorting tool. Our research group used Netsorting to run a number of experiments on cognitive science and on information architecture. In the study we are presenting here we compared two couples of card sorts with the same data: two performed with Netsorting, the other two with the traditional paper based card sorting. We measured the performance of the two groups with two indices: the number of correct classification and the correlation among sampled subsets of participants. The participants who used Netsorting performed as good as the ones who used the paper sorting.

Test-Retest Reliability of the Open Card Sorting Method
CHI EA '21: Extended Abstracts of the 2021 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

Open card sorting is a popular method for designing information architectures. However, there is a lack of empirical evidence on the validity and reliability of the method. This paper explores the test-retest reliability of open card sorting. To this end,...

Information architecture forms the foundation of users' navigation experience. Open card sorting is a widely-used method to create information architectures based on users' groupings of the content. However, little is known about the method's cross-...
A modified Delphi approach to a new card sorting methodology

Open card sorting is used by information architects to gather insights from users to incorporate feedback into an information architecture. In theory, it is one of the more inexpensive, user-centered design methods available to practitioners, but hidden ...
