Purpose and description of the content of education:
In the module, students learn the elements of the architecture of information spaces and their design principles. They find out how to structure and organise content in information environments, and how to design navigation systems. They become familiar with the types of labels and guidelines for their creation and learn methods for researching user needs in this area. They can prepare information architecture designs for various digital products.

Learning outcome of the module Codes of the learning outcomes of the programme to which the learning outcome of the module is related [level of competence: scale 1-5]
The students know what an information space is and its characteristics. They know the principles of designing useful, functional and aesthetic structures of information systems. [API03_1]
 K_W03 [2/5] K_W04 [5/5]
The students are skilled in organising content, dividing it into categories and planning the components of information spaces, including navigation, labelling and search systems. [API03_2]
 K_U05 [4/5] K_U07 [3/5]
Students can conduct an audit of the content of the existing information environment. They are able to prepare an information architecture strategy, considering the principles of developing the various components of the information space. Use appropriate software to test information architecture projects. [API03_3]
 K_U02 [5/5] K_U08 [4/5]
The students plan the information space, categorise its content in a way that is logical for the audience, give understandable labels and design an clear navigation system so that users find the information easily. [API03_4]
