Online Sync Sessions are an integral part of the online learning experience. Additional information about learning concepts and assignments may be discussed and sync sessions offer valuable opportunities for students to interact with their faculty and peers during the term. We encourage all students to attend live, but if they are unable to, sync sessions will be recorded and posted within Canvas to allow for an asynchronous model of success as well.
MS_IDS 411-DL : Information Design and Architecture
Description
Students will explore how to effectively design, organize,
retrieve, and use information. Our goal will be to create
structures that support the organization's content strategy and
facilitate user understanding and navigation. Topics will include
semantic analysis, content hierarchy, metadata, and search engine
optimization. Students will also learn how to analyze, design, and
implement service oriented architecture (SOA) solutions.
