Advanced Card Sorting - One-day training course 28th May 2008, Edinburgh
To accompany his talk to the Scottish UPA, William Hudson is running a one-day Advanced Cardsorting training course and workshop on 28 May in Edinburgh. The course is aimed at web designers, developers, information architects, and usability specialists, and previous experience in card sorting is not required. The course will be a great chance to learn and apply this valuable technique covering all aspects of card sorting, analysis and developing recommendations based on the results.
Delegates will also receive a fully licensed copy of the card sort analysis software SynCaps2 (a £250 value).
Early bird discount applies until 14 May as well as 3 for the price of 2. Full details are on http://www.syntagm.co.uk/design/csadvances.shtml

May 27th: Sub-groups, Deviants and Navigational Alignment: Advanced topics in card sorting. William Hudson, Syntagm
Venue: Apex House - Scottish Enterprise, 99 Haymarket Terrace, Edinburgh, EH12 5HD.
Time: 18:30
Have you ever wondered:
- When and why to use sub-groups in a card sort?
- How to maximize the quality of sorting analysis?
- Where to find the main differences between sorting results and current information architecture?
Then discover the answer to these and related topics in William Hudson's presentation on 27th May. Many of the issues discussed will be common to a variety of sorting and analysis tools, although some – navigational alignment in particular - are new approaches currently under development.
The presentation will be of interest to anyone using or considering card sorting as a method of navigation design, but will be particularly relevant to CAPS and SynCaps users.
Furthermore, William will be presenting a full-day seminar on the next day, 28 May, registration at: http://www.syntagm.co.uk/design/csadvances.shtml.
About the speaker: William Hudson is Principal Consultant at Syntagm Ltd and Director of User Experience for the Intranet Benchmarking Forum. He is the inventor of a popular card sorting technique (Computer Aided Paper Sorting - CAPS) and a related analysis package, SynCaps.
