We were asked by the CATALYST team to send in our take on community testing, answering the following questions. They will compile a video with all communities involved in this process, so I said why not. Will be sending it end of this week. @Hazem and @Ruxandra in particular, if you have thoughts on what would be interesting answers (see #5) jump in, if not no problem.
1/ Who are you?
2/ Describe your community (size, geographical localisation, topics of interest, for which purposes you use online debate)
3/ Why did you apply to CATALYST open call? What was the core content of your proposal?
4/ Which CATALYST tool(s) are you going to use?
5/ Which results are you expecting from the use of CATALYST collective intelligence tools?
Hi, I do not know how long the answer should be. Here is the first draft of the expected results that I see regarding the use of Assembl software within the Edgeryders community:
"The use of Assembl should have an impact in the efficiency of online collaboration and of the projects organization of the Edgeryders community.
Key expected results are:
Members have a better understanding of the discussions on Edgeryders through the overview and synthesis features (extraction of key section of messages and organization under key themes).
Members can get involved more easily and are stimulated to participate, as they can directly jump in on the topic they are interested in and there are creativity widgets."
as a community manager/builder am expecting to have a better understanding for the community ( network ). in other words I have been involved in the platform since almost a year ( 11 months 1 week ) and after this testing ( both assemble and edgesense) I am expecting to have a better vision of what already happened before me joining the platform in a more quick and efficient way.
expecting through edgsense to know more about the central conversations. also to catch up with the peripheral conversations.
know more about who are the central people. also check about the peripheral people and may be can introduce some conversations that could be matching their own interests.
catch up with the degree of "activeness of community" members, see who was active when, and try to go further by introducing content that could "re-activate"
understand more the clustering that happens online, how it develops and what affects it.
