Updates from DTO

  • DTO newsletter is in approvals and will be out early next week

  • Heads of Comms message about the footer implementation is in final approvals
  • Reminder to fill out the theme questionnaire

Trust research kickoff

Karissa Leduc

Discussion

  • Interest expressed in looking at how the following impact trust:
    • Ability to complete a task accurately vs perceived ease of use
    • Plain language - i.e. if a user can’t understand what’s on the page then they can’t complete their task (legal, bureaucratic or marketing language vs task-focussed language)
    • When a service/task is available only from government vs multiple sources (example: getting a passport vs finding info about travel, border or the environment)
    • Accuracy, completeness and timeliness of content
    • Flashy multimedia content - videos, story maps, google arts and culture type content
  • Emerging technologies and their impact on trust / expectations in the government are not within the scope of the research
  • More discussion on plain language
    • If you have them, please share examples / data for how to write really complex topics (scientific, historical, legal) in plain language
    • Writing for the web training - Parks Canada offers general training for staff, and will be developing training aimed for historians and science experts etc.

Please share your advice or any asks you have in terms of the research itself with PCO. This includes other presentations that are part of your own plans toward building more solid evidence, that bring findings together and that make recommendations and talk to people outside of the web. Think about how this research can be used to support your work and if there are other areas that need research.

The web study may use A/B testing to see if one approach is trusted more than another. If anyone has findings or analysis from A/B testing, please share so we can incorporate that into the design of the study.

There are 6 different trust studies for the social media study. Learnings from those will help improve the web study.

You can email Brenna Morell.

Q3 GC Task Success Survey results

Lana Stewart

Discussion

  • Passports saw significant improvement - it’s worth looking more carefully at what changes may have contributed to that
  • When looking at your results, make note of what adjustments you’ve made to content and how it may have affected the results

Please share questions and barriers at this table as well as successes. It’s helpful and interesting to hear especially about small adjustments you manage to make that have significant impact.
