Abstract/OtherAbstract

The present study utilized the card sorting technique and cluster analysis to define the best information architecture of Web-based health information for older users. Sixteen older computer users participated in the card sorting, twenty in category identification and thirteen in category labeling experiments of sixty four health and aging-related web pages from www.dmoz.org. The participants tended to group the items conceptually at higher levels of the hierarchy but tended to group the items based on similar words found in the titles at the lower level of the hierarchy. The study also found that user grouping produced more heterogeneous structure than the experimenter's predefined information architecture. Category labels suggested by seniors were observed to be less formal than the dmoz category labels. |
