Deepening the Practice of Information Architecture - IA 103

Curating Information Architecture skills doesn’t happen overnight, it takes practice. Once you understand the systems to organize, label, navigate, and model environments that exceed customer and business expectations, it helps to deepen your understanding by analyzing real-life applications, and then extending your practice through in-depth immersive practice. In this course, we’ll continue our practice of using IA Systems, Components, and Models to frame our websites, applications, and environments to be easy to use and meet customer intentions 

This course covers the next level of Information Architecture, including analyzing IA business case studies, extending the practice of IA visualization and modeling, learning about IA and its place in emerging technologies, and understanding how to package IA outcomes for others.
