[CLOSED] We're Improving the element14 Community Site & Need Your Help!

Alanta Lee

Hi everyone! 

We’re currently working on improving how the element14 Community is organised so it’s easier to find projects, challenges, learning resources, manufacturers, and everything else you need.

To make the right improvements, we’re running several research activities, and you can take part in any or all of them. 

Survey

We’d love to hear about your experience as a returning member:

  • What brings you back

  • What’s easy or hard to find

  • What feels valuable

  • What feels confusing or overwhelming

  • What you’d change if you could

Time: 10 minutes

Incentive: £10 Amazon voucher (or local equivalent)

Link to the survey: [link removed]

At the end of the survey, you can also volunteer for a follow up conversation.

 

Interview 

We’re looking to have deeper conversations about:

  • How you navigate the site

  • What feels hidden or hard to find

  • What makes the community feel valuable

  • What we could improve for returning users

Time: 45 minutes at a time that suits you

Incentive (if selected): £25 Amazon voucher (or local equivalent)

Only a limited number of interview slots are available, and we’ll contact selected volunteers via email.

Link to sign up: [link removed]

 

Card Sorting Study

We’re also running a short card sorting activity where you’ll group different types of content into categories that make sense to you.
This helps us rebuild the site structure in a way that feels natural for real users.

Time required: 10 - 15 minutes

Incentive: £25 Amazon voucher (or local equivalent)

Link to the card sort:  [link removed]

The element14 Community has grown massively over the years, and we know it can sometimes be hard to navigate or overwhelming. Your feedback, whether through the survey, a call, the card sort, or all three, directly informs how we improve the community for everyone.

As an extra thank you, we'll reward everyone who takes part with an achievement for their profile!

    " Loopback doesn't works for win 8.1" I think for your own computer security, it's time to consider at least using Linux

    Thank you for taking part in both the survey and the card sorting study! I can see your submission for the survey but not the card sort. 

    It's a manual process to assign achievements and also process any incentives, I tend to review these once a week so hoping you'll see a notification about your achievement soon.

    Apologies for the delay!
