| + | * Since March our work has focused on rapid prototyping and usability research. |
| + | * We worked with Gerry McGovern and the WHO on an international top task study to help identify trends in COVID-19 related top tasks |
| + | * We then worked with Gerry McGovern to run a Canada-specific study to focus primarily on the needs of Canadians |
| + | * Similar studies were run by Norway, Ireland and New Zealand |
| + | * This helps us identify where there are gaps in our current content, so we can plan for the content we need to develop |
| + | * Key differences in the Canadian study were the tasks related to financial support as that wasn’t relevant in the WHO study |
| + | * 90% English respondents, 10% French |
| + | * We recruited participants on Canada.ca |
| + | * It’s been interesting to see how anxious people are to help out during this time by participating in our studies |
| + | * Interesting to see common top tasks across different audiences |
| + | * We’d like to run the study again in a month or two, to track how needs are changing |
| + | * We’d also be interested in running studies with individual provinces/territories to help identify needs at that level of government |
| + | * Lisa will put together a “What’s involved” summary that we can share so that any provinces/territories that are interested in doing a study with us can get a sense of what’s required. |
