CC26-Design a web/video tutorial to help Citizen Scientists use our web prototype
Project start and end dates:
2022-02-15 to 2022-04-11
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
The Concordia University students built a web video tutorial to help citizen scientist using our web application to safely take and upload observations during or after a flood. The video tutorials will go a long way in improving our prototype’s user experience.
The students were always pleasant, professional ,and keen to understand our project goals and b-objectives , and always willing to go the extra mile to help achieve them.
Their contribution was of value to our prototype design work.
Thank
You!

Software can help the world respond to climate change impacts and disasters.
In 2019 we set out to investigate if there is a need for a solution that gives citizens personalized help preparing for and recovering from climate change impacts and lets trusted authorities assist them and report on their results.
As part of this effort, a great deal of market and technical research was conducted over the last few years. Over 140 students have been involved so far, in dozens of academic institutions in Canada and internationally.
Our greatest finding is the willingness of citizens to take responsibility and help themselves, their neighbors and community plan for, mitigate and recover from climate change impacts and disasters. We also confirmed that a software solution can be built to help overcome the barriers they face when trying to do so.
Now we’re working on a prototype and sharing our findings and progress. Find out more on our OASIS project website!

A Riipen Project
Riipen is your online platform for virtual project-based learning
Get hands-on support from our students through an in-class project or virtual internship.
- In-class projects allow you to connect with one of our educators to embed your project into the students’ curriculum. Become the real-life case study for students in the classroom!
- Virtual internships are similar to in-person internships, except they are project-based with a clear outcome and the engagement is primarily done online.
