Shape1 TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION:

Card Sort A: Online Data Collection for AHRQ.gov [https://www.AHRQ.gov]

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this information collection tool is to determine an ideal information architecture (IA) structure for content categories on https://www.AHRQ.gov/.

We will accomplish this by using an online tool called Optimal Sort to perform a card sort. Card sort is a technique for evaluating the categorization of information on a website. Participants will complete the card sort activity online using their own computer. They will be asked to group, what they perceive to be, like information together to form the information architecture of the site.
