Websort: Remote card sorting tool
I just learned about Websort, a web-based application that allows you to conduct a card-sorting exercise remotely. It lets you set up an introduction page that explains the goal of your research, and allows participants to create any number of categories to put in the “cards” you give them. You get an email as someone completes the study, and you can export the results, or use the built-in analysis tool.
I haven’t actually used Websort, but I would be curious to try it out. It seems straight-forward, with not a lot of bells-n-whistles. The interface seemed easy enough to use, although I haven’t looked into customization options, like if you can set up a study where user can put in an item into more than one category. (Apple can be both “red” and “fruit,” for example.)
Upon looking further, there seems to be plenty of tools available in this arena.
