What does the role of an Information Architect primarily involve?

• Principle of choices

• Principle of growth

• Principle of disclosure

What does the Principle of Choices suggest in Information Architecture?

• Provide too many options for users to ensure they find what they need

• Offer meaningful and focused choices to avoid overwhelming users

• Limit the choices to a single option for clarity

• Allow users to choose from any random list of items

Which principle focuses on giving users the necessary information in a gradual way to avoid overload?

• Principle of disclosure

• Principle of exemplars

• Principle of front doors

• Principle of growth

What is the key characteristic of the "Daisy" content organization model?

• A strict hierarchy of content with defined paths

• Returning to a central point after completing specific tasks

• A flat structure with all pages accessible from one level

• A multidimensional hierarchy of content access

Which content organization model is most effective for websites with a limited number of pages and a very focused purpose?

• Strict hierarchy

• Flat structure

• Single page

• Index model

Which of the following is true about the Principle of Front Doors in Information Architecture?

• It focuses on the importance of the homepage in user navigation

• It emphasizes that users should always land on the homepage

• It suggests that all pages should give users basic information about the site

• It advises that only the homepage should have top-level navigation

What is the main advantage of the Principle of Multiple Classification?

• Allowing users to find content through various methods

• Restricting users to a single path to ensure focus

• Simplifying content by limiting browsing options

• Making content available only to advanced users
