Page 25: Establishing Qualitative Criteria for IA and UX in One Fell Swoop -- How to Conduct a Card Sort with Storytelling

the current site is failing to provide contact information for making an appointment, which is the number one reason people visit the site

as soon as the “barrier” is broken, students are happy with the services

perception gap: students perceive the MIT Medical is slow, but it is fast and effective

content and ui: contact information must be readily apparent - especially how to make an appointment

Different audiences have different perceptions: Medical needs to work to overcome student perceptions, but faculty and staff are content

students perceive MIT Medical as slow to respond

the site is failing to explain plans adequately

some deadlines are really important

content: crucial content needs to speak to an audience not familiar with US plans and terminology

feature: maybe a way to compare plans would help

ui/visual: key dates need to be super obvious

content on the site needs to address users and influencers
