Hi Peter, 

I had my students Interactive Media make groups of 4/5 and take out all
their cards from their wallet and put them together: creditcards,
membercards, discountcards etc. and categorize them. Then I brought up the
subject of overlap; would it be better to have every piece in a category of
its own, or would it be ok to find the same card under different categories?
For instance NS-daluren (railways) gives both entrance and discount. This
way they gained more insight in the matter than when I had tried to explain.


Groeten, Anna.

Hi all,
I am looking for resources/examples of successful exercises to give in 
IA workshops. Taxonomy exercises, exercises to get faceted 
classification, and so on. What exercises have you given that work, and 
which ones didn't work?

Thanks!

Peter
