Week8 Outside of Class

This weekend I worked on gathering all of my content. I set up my websort study so that I could see what a user might do with the information. These are my in person closed studies. What I noticed from my closed studies was that because the categories are already predetermined, many of the user's answers overlap.

This image is what I ended up with when I conducted closed card sorting. I added my in person card sorts to my online sort so I could see all of the information together. What I noticed with my closed card sort  was that most of my content did end up overlapping. Cooking, Other, miscellaneous, and meat information seemed to be the same throughout. What I noticed between the rest was that some of the categories overlapped some. 1/3 of the users made a new group to put some of the info in. Another third put the info into meat information categories. The last third put them into a category based on the meat type. 

This is my closed card sorting in person.
