The Goal

We are in the design and planning phase of a new climate change-related citizen science web prototype (related to "UN Sustainable Development Goal 13: Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts"). The prototype will be a mobile-friendly website that allows citizens to take and submit photos and other “ground truth” observations to the Trusted Authorities, during /after floods. This information can be used to help the authorities assess and predict the flood or disaster scope and impact.

We would like to have a short web tutorial/video created to help "citizen scientists" safely take and upload observations during or after a flood.

The tutorial may cover :

• Minimum mobile device requirements to record flood observations
• Tips on the best use of video or photographic equipment to record flood observations
• Instructions on how to provide the most accurate and useful observation information
• Safety tips

Your Contribution

Use your skills and creativity in all aspects of the web tutorial design process: research, analysis, iteration, prototyping, presentation, and evaluation. You will be able to showcase an understanding of visual forms, communicating visually, research skills, creative problem-solving, creative analysis, and digital storytelling. Consider language and cultural issues while producing the web tutorial/video. Incorporate our existing brand and design elements to provide a consistent presentation and user experience.

At the start of the project, we will provide a walk-through of our prototype site and content. We will also provide a wealth of background material on the application, its use case, goals, and objectives, and even detailed low-level fidelity wireframes. and other recommendations behind the proposed citizen science web application features.
