At the @lcbdepot.bsky.social today with @dmu.ac.uk talking #workexperience and student engagement. Specifically #creative #storytelling with #data and #representation.

We're continuing to deliver project work whilst encouraging people to sign up and use Gobby for themselves. Have you got a research project you'd like to get underway? Need help with the project approach and facilitation? Want to make the most of your Gobby account and some training would help?

Gobby is unapologetically making #qualitative #research accessible to everyone. Built as an affordable survey platform designed to engage with groups of people that have shared experiences and ideas. As more open questions and learn from people that have been there, done that, and got the t-shirt.

"We allowed the matched responses and the participants liked this approach and it facilitated more engagement as we got over 120 responses to the [3] questions in total. We have a really good outline project now that will be taken out for further community consultation." Dr Jaclyn Harron

Team Gobby are talking seriously about how NOT to use #AI for supporting #qualitative (free text) survey responses. Natural Language Processing is used to identify key phrases and sentiment, nothing more. We're sticking to our guns, ensuring analysis is led by humans. #Governance #AIStrategy

Surveys have a bad reputation. Gobby isn't competing with other survey brands. It's competing with bland. Create a FREE account today, use it, and help us give surveys a better reputation.

Launching a new qualitative-first survey tool to the market requires one thing. Early adopters. We've made sure that: - Sign up is free (with free survey response credits). - Pricing is affordable, flexible, and transparent. - The platform is simple to use. Don't hold back!

New Gobby branded threads for the summer. Dad bod friendly 🙏

When we get to the point of sharing a demo of the Gobby platform, many say... "I can see so many uses for Gobby" or "I wish I'd had this 6 months ago when we did..." Arrange a demo, we can show how simple it is to ask open questions to groups of people with shared experiences. gobby.io

One of the biggest pain points with online surveys is inflexible pricing. For individual accounts, we're making communication and #qualitativeresearch affordable for: - occasional surveys - students - people/organisations struggling financially but need valuable insights #codesign #fairpricing

@sarahjh78.bsky.social I'm unashamedly sharing your LinkedIn post on here. Follicle slurs included! Any and all social researchers, please check out gobby.io for yourself. It's free to create an account, with the aim is to get people talking about Gobby and providing valuable feedback.

I was not born to perform. But here I am, doing my best :) If you're not already familiar, Gobby is a new and very exciting qualitative-first survey platform. That means it prioritises people's voices. Quite frankly, I need your help. Gobby needs to be tried, tested, and talked about.

Yes, we've launched! We're introducing qualitative-first surveys to the world, and it feels good. Take a look for yourself, engage better, and become a change-maker. This milestone has been hard fought, as a purpose-led and independent innovation project with no funding. Help us improve 👇

It's getting on for 15 years since Gary Beckwith, Gobby's founder, read this book. There's no doubt it helped inspire what Gobby is today. Thanks to a small group of long suffering but extraordinary people, we're sharing Gobby as qualitative-first survey platform with the world this week.

Sick of hearing about #AI? Well, this week, we introduce #AI to Gobby #surveys to aid #qualitative analysis and #reporting 😇 (Sorry) But, we're keeping it light to ensure HI (Human Intelligence) remains at the centre of #coproduction. #Qualitative and mixed methods #research with responsible AI

The stories shared in this Gobby survey reinforce why @angelacat.bsky.social established the When I Get Old #WIGO movement. Calls for #DoWith in evolving #socialcare and support in the UK are becoming stronger and more data driven. We're here to amplify voices and promote positive change.

First, long, solo autumnal walk of the year. Good for the soul.

go.bsky.app/25nDNdz I have added you to the mix @longhouseman.bsky.social hope that is ok

1/ TLAP, with partners, has long advocated for events about social care to include people who draw on that care and support as equal participants. This means better access to funded places and participation, as well as equal status on the platforms others can take for granted.

I've set up a couple of 'starter packs' to help me and others find people with shared interests. The first is on #PublicInvolvement and #Co-production in health and care research: go.bsky.app/PWEAnFR

I'm so pleased to be featured in an NHS England co-produced short film about strategic co-production in the design of services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities. Please do have a watch! m.youtube.com/watch?v=a4pZ...

Welcome bsky.app/profile/apgr... to #Bluesky It's a nice place to be!
