Workshop on Adaptable Research Methods For Empirical Research with Map Users

Thursday 6 May 2021

Everyone globally has been affected by the COVID-19 in one way or another. Most of us have probably had to make adjustments to planned research projects as a result of restrictions on mobility and interacting with people outside our own households. Nevertheless, despite these challenges, people have been successful in undertaking research. This workshop was a forum for sharing our collective experiences in adapting user research methods for remote studies. We aim to document innovative experimental adaptations and to help each other solve unsolved problems.

 



Workshop format

Based on submitted abstracts, the workshop was composed of a mix of standard presentations and facilitated discussion of focused issues. There were 54 registered participants to the workshop.

 

Workshop Outcomes

We plan at a minimum to build a webpage to be hosted on the Commission website with a synthesis of the ideas presented at the workshop. It is hard to predict in advance if there will be sufficient material, but if it seems to be the case after the workshop, we suggest also the development of a collaborative paper to be submitted to the International Journal of Cartography

Program (now includes slides/workshop recordings)

There is no time of day that will perfectly suit all time zones, so we have tried to come up with a schedule that allows the greatest number of time zones to attend at least some of the workshop at an at least semi-civilised hour.
