Online Card Sorting Demo
My team for the miLife project in Design Studio had an assignment over the break. We're into the generative stage of our research, and it's time to test the framework we've been developing. Our basic idea is that people feel more mobile or less mobile depending on where they are during their day. That affects the kinds of activities they can engage in.In order to better understand this relationship, we developed a deck of cards with pictures of different environments. We've been asking people to arrange the cards in a continuum between those places where they feel more mobile and those where they feel less mobile. After they arrange the cards, we map a predefined set of activities to the environments and note the gaps.
To show you how this worked, I put together this interactive card sorting demo. Our actual cards aren't this small (they're a little bit bigger than a deck of Uno cards), but you get the idea.
