Hi everyone, I’ve spoken to a few people at the Hack Nights about this project, and got some helpful advice, so I’m hoping others on this list might be interested.
As part of a final MSc Electronic Publishing project at City University, I’m investigating the effect of using open data to give more information about how an MP has voted on an issue and what they have said in Parliamentary debates on the content of users’ campaign emails. As part of the project, I’ve designed and built a prototype online campaign tool that uses the TheyWorkForYou API. I’m looking for people who have some knowledge and experience of campaigning to test out the tool by writing an email to their MP, and then answering a short (10 minute) questionnaire to give feedback. As the study is about contacting a UK MP, you must be resident in the UK in order to take part. The email won’t be sent to your MP, but saved securely for qualitative analysis. I hope to gain and share insight into the kinds of content produced by such a tool and what bearing that might have on email as a campaign tool. The entire session should take you around 20 - 30 minutes to complete. There is the chance at the end to be entered into a prize draw for a £10 Amazon voucher or to request a donation of £3 to a charity of your choice. The study can be found at: http://bit.ly/17Yvvk2 (This will take you to an online consent form that you’ll need to respond to before taking part). All data collected will be securely stored and fully anonymised for research and publication purposes. Please also consider sharing the study with any colleagues you think might be interested. It’d be great to get some of your perspectives on this. If you have any questions, or you’d like to know more about the project, feel free to contact me at [email protected]. I’m also happy to share a summary of my findings with the list once the project is complete, if people are interested.
