Inhalt
Looking for information can be compared to digging in a bucket of Legos for a single piece. However, sorting Legos is child’s play compared to sorting technical content: the distinctions are not always obvious and obvious categories may not be useful to users. Regardless, we can learn from the Lego approach. This workshop draws parallels between sorting Legos and sorting content and suggests other strategies when the Lego model falls short.
