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:

1. Sort existing Learn articles into categories that make sense to them.
2. Identify unclear, overlapping, or misplaced articles.
3. Suggest new categories or pathways (e.g., Beginner → Intermediate → Advanced, or Concepts → APIs → Best Practices).
4. Flag missing topics or pain points in the current flow.
5. 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
