5. What is it, and why is it important?
Information Architecture, or “IA”
How we structure the information in our website
This means:
Consistent locations for storing files
Labeling and categorizing files for easy retrieval
Taking the guesswork out of your website organization
Why do it?
Less ambiguity of “where stuff goes”
Easier to find content
Administrators don’t lose as much hair

6. How can we do it in OU Campus?
We have LOTS of tools to help admins create good IA
Controlling access to files and folders
Naming conventions
File size upload limits
Allowed/Disallowed Extensions
Tags
Directory Variables
Template Groups
Using some (or all) of it
