We are now unable to have face-to-face contact with each other, which means that we are forced to come up with alternative ways to discuss our plans. Sara, has introduced a live chat link which allows us all as a module group to share concerns and solutions. We have been keeping each other up to date with what position we are in with our research, via the live chat and a Facebook messenger group chat.
As for our research group, we have kept in contact through a snapchat group chat, in which we have discussed our research plans, as well as informed one another if any of our contacts have responded after requesting to interview them; which then we conduct a reply back, together as a group (to ensure that nothing is left out and everyone has a chance to input their say).
After this announcement was released, we as a group decided that we still want to research sustainability in Amsterdam but through Virtual research methods; this means that our research objective is to stay the same but the means of how we achieve it changes. We have agreed that we are going to …
- Skype interview Sustainable Amsterdam organisation.
- Interview 2 people we know have been to Amsterdam recently (no longer than 2 years ago) so that their experience of the city is up-to-date.
- Observe 3 YouTube videos that demonstrate the transport we aimed to observe ourselves; then compare the videos and what each one says ( similarities + differences?)
