-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
I'd like to ask advice of people working in human rights, civil rights, investigative journalism communities. I am doing my MSc in human-computer interaction, focusing on mobile Privacy Enhancing Technology tools, a lot of which are discussed here. I am focusing on users from the investigative journalism, human rights workers circles. I want to recruit "non-technical/security experts", people who use these tools, but have limited understanding of how they work. To recruit participants, in the "commercial world", I would put out a call to recruit users, offering financial compensation ("£20 per hour / "£15 Amazon voucher...etc") to entice people to take part. My understanding (possibly incorrect) is the people I am focusing on are not driven (solely) by financial gain. Therefore I have a question: "What is the best approach to use to recruit participants for my usability testing sessions?" So far, I have come up with the following approaches: 1. Offer to make a donation to the organisation they work for. 2. Offer a financial compensation as detailed above. 3. Offer to cover travel, and lunch expenses. 4. Offer nothing. I'd like to hear people's feedback on these approaches. Are all/any valid? Are all/any acceptable? Any other suggestions? On or off-list feedback greatly appreciated. thanks, Bernard - -------------------------------------- Bernard / bluboxthief / ei8fdb IO91XM / www.ei8fdb.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.17 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJR/3qmAAoJENsz1IO7MIrrJ8sH/15Mcr+YHYsEAtjAGZlTlQ3w kz9aWDc6+CTCywfdFUXlrdu92tcFKw4h+yP5EFulKXYtwEq9oAU+lhr5fw7kcbYF d5l/SK6GBpsDjahYWqW2naeDBEkHeo8IPR0py6Cyt6GTbX0piNPoXzIJe/4xRDhN +Lw3EX5z/ni8AHdDaQyOXQo4J5XLUUdUAXdZaemSuekWsadcvy2a1RSOrZeVD2qQ 5y7LLvhWNc4rLdBSEjQRdL8vJIAXyEMe9zYU2Ag2t/UiiHRXD6I/YCHWCP6iH5MV QT6E1bxXOcigkKuFoahunCWTRxBIOZl92wahYPV50S8Lv1ItEKnOswlnGljBuCU= =0nbj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Liberationtech list is public and archives are searchable on Google.
