What I noticed with open sorting was that group participants ended up creating the same categories just with different names that ended up overlapping. Things like Elk, Buffalo, Deer, and Goat were categories that were pretty much across the board with open card sorting. 2 People ended up organizing the content by adding all of the meats together. In the open sorting many people made a home page with general information like contact and email and an other page because there were some random items.
For the in person open sorts I had people organize the content by the type of meat with other miscellaneous items in their own category. I also had a cooking section come out of an open sort. They also added a special deals category in the open sort. Another open sort was done by putting each type of meat as a category with all things related along with that type of meat. There was venison, deer, elk, buffalo, and rabbit etc. Other than the food there was a category with Whole, Halves, Quarter. This was the most confusing because I seemed to get many different results.
