Card sorting

Have you ever played a game where you had to sort cards based on their colors or values? That's exactly what card sorting means! It's a design technique where we collect information from people or users by asking them to organize information written on cards.

Imagine you had a bunch of different cards with different information on them, like pictures, words, or categories. Card sorting asks you to group these cards based on how they seem related to each other. For example, if you had a card with a picture of an apple and another card with a picture of a banana, you might group them together into a category called "fruit."

Designers and researchers use card sorting to understand how people think about different topics or how they categorize information. They might use these insights to design a website, an app, or even a physical product, to make sure that the information is organized in a way that makes sense to users.

So, card sorting is like playing a game where you sort cards based on how they're related, and it helps designers and researchers organize information in a way that makes sense to people!
