Abstract
|
There is an increasing awareness of the fact that early user involvement in the development of web-based applications is a key success factor. The human-centered design process suggests a number of useful interventions that guide the process of including users. One of them is the card-sorting technique.
In this paper we aim to share our experiences in applying card-sorting in an early phase of developing a web-portal for supporting users with reading difficulties, most prominently dyslexia. The paper characterizes the card-sorting technique and describes the preparation, design decisions, data collection, data analysis and results we achieved while applying the technique with a sample of dyslexic users. Moreover, the meaning of the results is discussed along with the special learning and adaptations necessary for
applying card-sorting with users with special needs. Readers will also get acquainted with the EU-Project LITERACY that forms the context of the study.
