Advising CrowdSignals
Deborah is lending her expertise as an advisor to the CrowdSignals project. In particular, she is advising on mobile and sensor data collection as well as on mechanisms that improve data transparency and control for volunteers. She will also use data from CrowdSignals in a variety of work with Small Data - the myriad of data traces we each generate everyday.
CrowdSignals Endorsement
"CrowdSignals will provide critical infrastructure for small-data application research that empowers end-users to make use of their own data."
