...bit about the ECRC....introducing research, purpose of trials, linking to case studies

Here are some stories to read. Each gives an example of e-consultation in practice. Some are from our own research project in Ireland (N & S), others are from around the world.

E-consultation trials in Ireland

We helped 3 organizations include e-consultation in their public consultations.

• Waterways Ireland trial - putting a conventional consultation online.
• Active Citizenship trial - collecting citizens stories for The Wheel.
• NSEC trial - designing a complex consultation.

E-consultation tests in Ireland

We also are running a few tests of our own on e-consultation technologies, trying out things that we couldn't do in the scope of the trial consultations.

• Diversity trial - linking different tools and processes
• PBNI trial - testing the usability of an online map with less literate ex-offenders
• Youth e-consultations at NIYF - ongoing action research with young people at the NI Youth Forum
