Seminars in Usable Design (JoAnn Hackos, Bill Hackos, Henry Korman)

March 6–7 (Atlanta, GA) and April 2–3 (Champaign, IL): "Structuring Information for Online Success"

When we want to understand anything at all, we look for structure, relations, and ultimately, multi-dimensional order. Structure is the link between content and user goals. In this seminar we'll examine how you can use the analysis and design of structure to make sense of the online experience, from the World Wide Web to online help and documents of all types.
