New Study Time!

• Template Page to get you started

Research guidelines and participant recruitment

• User Research Guidelines
• Research Confidentiality Agreement
• Research recruitment email template
• Research recruitment message template
• Suggested Redaction Guidelines
  • Reminder: No transcripts, no matter the depth of their redaction, may ever be shared to this Public Wiki. Only reports of compiled data or composite insights. The shared guidelines are for transcripts we each keep for our own use after a participant session, or to privately share when collaborating on synthesis efforts.

Team Affinity Mapping Exercise

Following the Journalist interviews at IFF, a remote affinity mapping exercise was conducted among participating researchers. The goal of this exercise was to test this synthesis method for collecting actionable research results, and to get everyone together to discuss how the crowdsourced research endeavor went.

As a project brought to life by a community of generous volunteers, publicly available and easy to consume evidence of user needs as uncovered through human-centered research, is vital.
