Benefits from Information Architecture Seminars

“I have been to various seminars throughout the country. I think that this is far the best one that I attended. I can apply this information to my projects that are currently in development.”

Content supports the entire team.

“I would definitely recommend Thom’s information architecture class. I don't know of one person in my group who couldn't benefit from something in the content of the class.”

Topics and exercises support real work.

“I have gained a lot of information that I will be able to use. I am in a much better position to develop a site than I was before. I learned a lot! The usability exercise was very helpful to see how it was actually done. I had heard of it before but no one had ever shown or explained it.”

“I've never had a class that addressed people and politics and this has been the single biggest challenge in all of my work. Thom’s class gave me several pointers on how to handle that-- even acknowledging that this is a force you must deal with … I really appreciated this discussion.”

Immediate application of content.

“I enjoyed really learning something useful! The details of what will work and what doesn’t work can be immediately applied. Thom’s explanations for user friendly design are memorable. Thank you.”

“I am a project lead for my company's Intranet projects. I will be able to apply the ideas from Thom's lectures and workbook to help design a usable enterprise focused Intranet Web Site that will add value to our organization.”

”Two major things worked for me: the focus on the user and understanding how people process information and the value of spending time BEFORE the actual web site building begins. I will leave this class and spend more time determining the needs and goals of all the people who use our site.”

Thom’s role as a resource.

“Thom‘s information architecture seminar earns my highest recommendation. Thom is an excellent resource of information. He provides his students with the essential points to consider when entering into the web based environment from numerous perspectives.”

Thom’s instructional style.

“I really liked the way Thom took all input and used it. He may have been looking for the one right answer, but he could see that there were lots of ways to get at it. It made me as a student feel valued and helped me to learn.”

Coursework that creates results.

“I took the day off yesterday to review my materials and was so inspired; I ended up completely revising my E-mail Manual. What an improvement!!! Next I plan to rework my Intranet system and build these concepts into current sites I’m developing. I’m excited about how my future clients will benefit. I can build these foundations into the site from the very beginning. I sincerely believe this is the single, most important class I have ever taken, and will prove to have a profound effect on my work.”
