The Goal
We are in the design and planning phase of a new climate change-related citizen science web prototype (related to "UN Sustainable Development Goal 13: Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts"). The prototype will be a mobile-friendly website that allows citizens to take and submit photos and other “ground truth” observations to the Trusted Authorities, during /after floods. This information can be used to help the authorities assess and predict the flood or disaster scope and impact.
We are building a web application prototype that citizen scientists that will use to safely take and submit photos and other "ground truth" observations to the Trusted Authorities (local NGOs and/or government officials), during/after floods and other climate change-related natural disasters.
We would like you to plan and create a draft digital user guide/handbook and supporting material that we can use to help Trusted Authorities who use the web application.
Your Contribution
Use your skills and creativity in all aspects of the user guide design process: research, analysis, iteration, presentation, and evaluation.Your contributions will include technical writing of the draft.
At the start of the project, we will provide a walk-through of our prototype site and content. We will also provide a wealth of background material on the application, its use case, goals, and objectives, and even detailed low-level fidelity wireframes. and other recommendations behind the proposed citizen science web application features
