LEARNING HOW TO ORGANISE, DESCRIBE AND PRESENT THE INFORMATION IN YOUR
WEBSITE OR APP IS ONE OF THE FUNDAMENTAL SKILLS THAT MAKES UP UX
DESIGN. INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE IS THE GLUE THAT HOLDS COMPLEX
DIGITAL PRODUCTS TOGETHER AND ENABLES USERS TO NAVIGATE AND MAKE SENSE
OF THEM.This introductory course teaches you the basics of designing
solid information architecture (IA) for websites, intranets, search
and web applications. You will learn what and how to research to
identify the elements of an effective IA. We'll cover how to analyse
and synthesise your research results. Most importantly you'll learn
the basics of designing IA and how to create sitemaps, wireframes and
other artefacts to communicate that design.
