Describe the session
This session will focus on reorganizing and improving the Learn section of Node.js website. We will run a card-sort activity (physical and/or digital) where article titles and short summaries are represented as “cards.”
Participants will:
- Sort existing Learn articles into categories that make sense to them.
- Identify unclear, overlapping, or misplaced articles.
- Suggest new categories or pathways (e.g., Beginner → Intermediate → Advanced, or Concepts → APIs → Best Practices).
- Flag missing topics or pain points in the current flow.
- If time allows, group findings into a draft information architecture proposal for the Learn section.

Follow-up / Set-up sessions (if any)
Additional context (optional)
The event is Hybrid-friendly:
Remote participants can sort prepared digital cards (via Miro, MURAL, or a similar tool such as this example).
We’ll break out into small groups to generate the maximum number of variants.
This further supports:
- Online breakout rooms
- In-person groups
Output could be captured and shared as:
- Photos/screenshots
- Structured notes for async review
