Hey everyone,
since we just talked about card sorting,

2
00:00:02,916 --> 00:00:05,702
I wanted to present an activity for
you to try on your own.

3
00:00:05,702 --> 00:00:11,414
Basically, I'd like you to be
the test user in an open card sort.

4
00:00:11,414 --> 00:00:14,183
Now, let's imagine I work for Slack.

5
00:00:14,183 --> 00:00:17,653
That's the chat platform that
a lot of people use these days.

6
00:00:17,653 --> 00:00:21,472
And just like anyone else, Slack needs
a website that serves up all the relevant

7
00:00:21,472 --> 00:00:25,010
information people need about
their app and their company.

8
00:00:25,010 --> 00:00:29,550
Well, our team at Slack has
created 23 different pieces of

9
00:00:29,550 --> 00:00:32,730
information that need
to be on our website.

10
00:00:32,730 --> 00:00:37,480
My task for you is to divide them into
groups and then come up with a name for

11
00:00:37,480 --> 00:00:42,280
each group so we can present them
within categories on a website.

12
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,770
The number of groups is up to you.

13
00:00:44,770 --> 00:00:47,830
Make each one as big or small as you want.

14
00:00:47,830 --> 00:00:51,880
In the end,
all 23 pieces should be in groups, and

15
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,910
those groups should have a name.

16
00:00:54,910 --> 00:00:56,010
Make sense?

17
00:00:56,010 --> 00:00:58,660
All right, here's what I can give you.

18
00:00:58,660 --> 00:01:02,775
First, I'll give you a list
of all the 23 items.

19
00:01:02,775 --> 00:01:05,450
Plus, since we're not doing
this activity in person,

20
00:01:05,450 --> 00:01:10,090
I'm gonna cheat a little bit and
give you a short description of each page.

21
00:01:10,090 --> 00:01:11,890
That should answer any questions you have,

22
00:01:11,890 --> 00:01:15,550
since some of the page titles
might be a little vague.

23
00:01:15,550 --> 00:01:20,240
Secondly, I've got a printable
PDF file of all 23 items.

24
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,740
This way, if you want,
you can print out these cards for

25
00:01:23,740 --> 00:01:27,730
yourself and
arrange them on a table or a desk.

26
00:01:27,730 --> 00:01:31,080
So there you go,
take those pieces I've given you and

27
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,740
do the card sort,
come up with groups and names.

28
00:01:34,740 --> 00:01:38,040
And in the next video we'll
talk about the results.

29
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:38,540
See you then.
