How many types of card sorting are there?
The three card sorting techniques you can choose from — open, closed, and hybrid — will each tell you something different about how people understand and group your information. Choosing the right technique at the right time is key to gathering high-quality, relevant data to inform your design decisions.
What is a closed card sort?
Closed Card Sort: Participants are asked to sort topics from content within your website into pre-defined categories. A closed card sort works best when you are working with a pre-defined set of categories, and you want to learn how users sort content items into each category.
When should you do card sorting?
Card sorting is a UX research technique for discovering how people understand and categorize information. This technique is used when a team wants to group and label website information in a way that makes sense for the target audience.
