This course provides an introduction to the fundamental principles and practices of information architecture (IA), a critical aspect of designing user-friendly digital experiences. Students will explore how information is organized, structured, and presented in various digital environments, including websites, applications, and databases.
Key topics include understanding user needs and behaviors, creating effective navigation systems, developing taxonomies, and designing wireframes. Through hands-on projects, students will learn how to analyze and evaluate information structures, ensuring that users can find and interact with content easily and intuitively.
