MSIM Capstone Research
Culture and information become easier to approach and understand through design iterations that interact with the user.
Written and visual information create effective facets by interacting with end-users in the planning and ongoing stages – using surveys, tagging-term matching, comments, discussions, structure, interactivity, use trends, pattern-detection, and incorporating changes.
Savvy users use exact terms, and seek to describe the energy in tagging content.
