Uzilla: cardsort. Uzilla uzCardSort Card Sorting is a methodology for assessing mental/conceptual models by asking users to categorize a list of terms. uzCardSort is an open source, MPL licensed, Mozilla based tool for conducting and analyzing card sorts.
It runs on Windows, Macintosh, and Linux versions of Mozilla and in other Gecko runtimes supporting XPInstall (sorry, no Camino). Install Process Current Status The system supports the creation, editing, and running of projects. Exploratory analysis and a rudimentary clustering algorithm are in place. An upcoming release will feature a detail panel for adding long notes to each item (bug 4972). Analysis is the key area left to develop. Current Screenshots of uzCartSort: You can provide feedback on this tool on the mailing list or through our public bug tracking system. Other Card Sort Tools Several tools already exist to accomplish this function: Technical Details uzCardSort stores configurations and data files in your Mozilla application directory. Change Log.

"Computer science departments have always considered 'user interface' research to be sissy work," MIT's Nicholas Negroponte replies when I ask him why UI has historically been ignored by academics.
The real men (yes, they were mainly men) studied topics like compilers, systolic arrays, and partitioning algorithms. This was hard science, and it involved numbers, mathematical proofs, and empirical evidence. User interface? That was on par with astrology. The few academics who do study user interface have their own, more blunt way of explaining the field's historical marginalization. So why is David Gelernter, one of the leading lights in CS academia, suddenly hip-deep in soft science? But the real answer is more complex and less personal. Given the current hype over everything digital, that may sound crazy. Today, industry is driving the field, and academia is becoming increasingly irrelevant. "Computer science is absolutely lost in a world of abundant power.

Book: Information Architecture: Blueprints for the Web. Book: Mapping Websites. Book: Practical Information Architecture. Web prototyping with Powerpoint. By Geoff Hart, Associate Fellow, Montreal Chapter and Simon Riffou (graphic designer, Forest Engineering Research Institute of Canada) January 2006 Traditional storyboarding techniques work quite well for primarily linear presentations such as videos.
Prototyping with Powerpoint. Directgov.uk. User Experience Poster. This "Designing the User Experience" poster illustrates the path to more usable products.
Starting from the beginning with defining the users and their requirements to the conclusion with usability testing, a complete user-centered design process is laid out, using a game board metaphor with "ladders" to help you jump ahead, and "chutes" for places where a good process was not followed. The process of designing the user experience is divided into four phases: Analysis Design Implementation Deployment There are suggested activities for each phase. Additional text around the poster defines key concepts in user-centered design.
A copy of the poster is sent to all new members. Poster Text The activities on the poster are: Analysis Phase Design Phase Implementation Phase Do ongoing heuristic evaluations Work closely with delivery team as design is implemented Conduct usability testing as soon as possible Deployment Phase.

It really grew though in 2002 onwards when I put up a page about the attempt I was going to make on getting the World Record for travelling around the system in the fastest time possible. Dublin Rail - real time Google Map. Posted: February 22nd, 2008 | Tags: Dartmaps, Hacking, Highlights | 13 Comments » Dartmaps is a Google Maps real-time DART mashup and has appeared in print in The National Geographic, on the radio on NPR and even on television.
All of these were as part of “tech” articles or programmes, appealing mainly to geeks and GIS types. However, now Dartmaps has entered the world of the arty farty. From February 24th 2008, the Museum of Modern Art in New York City are running an exhibition titled “Design and the Elastic Mind“, which features Dartmaps as one of its exhibits.
