• VISION: People know what will happen next
Make Information Easy to Provide:
• TARGETED: Use only the level of security that is necessary to maintain the desired quality of data
• STANDARDIZED: Use standardized input structures
• STRUCTURED: Multiple choice is easier than fill-in the blanks
• SUPPORTED: Create in-line help
• VERIFIED: Provide confirmation that the data has been entered correctly
• RESPECTFUL: Respect the user!

16. CrowdMappers is a LinkedIn group.
The idea is to help and inform
people who are curious about how
crowdmapping works. It allows all
of us to share information, case
studies, examples, problems, and
solutions.
Everyone is welcome to join!
