Information Architecture

Introduces concepts important to the design of information spaces. Central to the course is an understanding of user-centered design principles. User-centered design requires that the information designer incorporate the end user into the design process. Offers students the opportunity to analyze and describe the design of an existing information appliance and then move on to the analysis of the design of an information space. Finally, students submit their own plans for an information space accompanied by a contextualizing document that describes the audience and circumstances for the use of the design.
