For anyone interested who is attending the AECT conference this year in Louisville, I will be hosting a round table discussion on the use of card sorts for educational assessment. Come on by and join the conversation!

Donna Spencer, one of the most recognized authorities on card sorting, has a new book just released – Card Sorting: Designing Usable Categories. Although she and most others in the card sort field apply this for user design (websites, marketing, etc), much of the information is readily applicable to education.
