Information Architecture: Web Design for Usability

This paper is intended to introduce the course "LIS 534 - Information Architecture: Web Design for Usability," offered at the University of Alberta in Canada., where students will embark on a journey to explore the foundational principles that shape the organization and structure of information on the web. In this course, we delve into the art and science of Information Architecture (IA), examining how it plays a pivotal role in crafting user-centric digital experiences. From categorizing and labelling information to designing intuitive navigation systems, we will unravel the key components that define IA and set the stage for effective web usability. As we navigate through the intricate landscape of user-centred design, our exploration extends to the realm of web usability, where the focus is on creating websites that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also efficient, effective, and satisfying for users. Join us as we uncover the synergy between Information Architecture and Web Usability, discovering the essential elements that contribute to the success of modern web design.

Now, let's delve further into the core content of this course.
