[Webinar] Designing the Participant Experience
Channel: Code for Canada
Date: 03/08/2021

This is a recorded webinar from Code for Canada: Designing the Participant Experience. 

As design researchers, we miss that participant experience can be the key to great data and great research outcomes. By investing in the trust relationship you have with your research participants, you invest in their willingness to engage openly and comfortably with your research and its objectives. 

A good participant experience frees participants from the emotional and cognitive toll of being responsible for their own wellbeing and privacy, by providing a tangible demonstration for your care of the same. This talk will be a walkthrough of how we can use the tools of service design to consider the participant experience holistically, and ultimately facilitate better research outcomes by facilitating those needs.
