Hi class,

I just attended a webinar on information architecture by Donna Spencer, and found it very interesting. There are several resources/tools mentioned by Donna:

For scenario and task design, she mentioned:

plainframe.com

I used treejack but plainframe is first time I hear about it.

Best,
Rong
