SUMMARY:Web Navigation Design
LOCATION:New York, New York, USA
DESCRIPTION:This day-long class covers principles of web navigation and met
 hods of navigation design with practical examples and exercises. Participan
 ts should have some experience creating or maintaining websites and are loo
 king to deepen their design skills. This includes graphic designers, web ma
 sters, usability experts, and beginning to intermediate information archite
 cts.
\n
\nThe web has changed in the last decade. The notion of Web 2.0, in
  particular, marks a second phase of the web characterized by user-generate
 d content, collaboration, communities, and broader participation in general
 . And new technologies, such as Ajax and Flex, point to a more interactive 
 web with highly functional applications.
\n
\nAmidst this change, the basic
  problems of creating a good web navigation system remain. In many respects
 , they only get even more complicated. Business objectives increasingly rel
 y on the assumption that people will be able to find, access, and use the i
 nformation and services they provide. In other words, in order for web site
 s to successful, people must be able to navigate effectively. A “cool” site
  with lots of interactivity and user participation will still be lousy if t
 he navigation doesn’t work.
\n
\nAfter this class, you will be able to:
\n 
   1. Understand and apply basic principles of web navigation in your work
\
 n   2. Recognize different mechanisms and types of navigation, as well as d
 ifferent page types
\n   3. Apply current methods of navigation design for 
 page layout and creating a unified navigation system
