Six Vignettes for Designers of Digital Action Events ispublished: pub divisions: UCL divisions: B03 divisions: C03 divisions: F26 keywords: Citizen Science; Community; Volunteers; Digital Platforms; Digitalisation; Digital Divide note: Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) Licence (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/). abstract: The Covid-19 pandemic forced millions of people worldwide to switch from in-office working to remote working, using video conferencing tools such as Zoom, and resulted in an increase in the use of the Internet and digital tools. The HEIDI Project studied this phenomenon and held a series of roundtables, panels and other events such as webinars to better understand what digital skills people from different stakeholder groups felt they lacked. The HEIDI Project aims to upskill HEI staff in “Digital Action” (citizen science, makeathons and hackathons) and to work more closely with communities to boost bottom-up collaborative events of this type. Through these events, in particular the roundtables, a series of six “vignettes” or personas have been created: imaginary character descriptions of HEI staff, community group members and voluntary group members who have participated, or would be interested in participating, in Digital Action (DA). These vignettes are to be used as a design tool for anyone interested in creating a DA event, to provide ideas for utilising skills, understanding people’s goals, and providing what support is most often required by different stakeholder groups. date: 2023 date_type: published publisher: EU-Citizen.Science official_url: https://eu-citizen.science/resource/366 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green commissioning_body: European Commission verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2029026 confidential: false lyricists_name: Skarlatidou, Artemis lyricists_id: ASKAR74 actors_name: Skarlatidou, Artemis actors_id: ASKAR74 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public place_of_pub: London, UK pages: 13 citation: Skarlatidou, Artemis; Sheppard, Alice; Gibbs, Hannah; (2023) Who participates in Digital Action?
