Reality Checks
Real projects, real data, real communication
In parallel to the DD4D conference, people around the world can participate in gathering information on how we communicate, visualise and understand data in various contexts.
You can download the Reality Check Project Guidelines here.
Open Case Studies
The case studies will concentrate on data as part of decision making processes within communities. Topics should be in the areas of Health, Finance, Environment, Education, Security or Infrastructure and Mobility.
If you want to participate please fill in the registration form for a Reality Check case study.
Communication Benchmarks
Bank statements, phone bills, forms, web sites, road signs, and product instructions are types of information used everyday by millions of people.
The Communication Benchmarks Program has been developed by the Communication Research Institute to help measure the quality of this type of information around the world.
Publication
Evidence collected from the case studies and the Communication Benchmarks will be presented at the DD4D conference in Paris in June and at the 3rd OECD World Forum in Busan, Korea, October 2009.
