About the site
This website has been created as assessment item 3 for Introduction to Information Architecture (INF 440), which requires the description and evaluation of three Information Architecture tools.
The tools and why they were chosen
The three tools chosen for this website are:
Dreamweaver: Protyping tool
PowerPoint: Diagramming tool
WordPress: Content Management tool
The rationale for choosing these particular tools was to prove that everyday software applications that can be found in most homes, offices or educational institutions can be used in an information architecture context, whether using a Mac or Windows operating system.
Layout of the site content
The write-up of each different tool is composed of four sections:
Introduction
Use in Information Architecture
Description
Evaluation
The Introduction and Use in Information Architecture sections are on page 1 and the Description and Evaluation sections are on page 2.
