OUTCOMEs 2023
Some Digital products R&D happens in and around other work tasks, as and when small pieces of research into tools (eg best choices, alternatives etc) comes up. As such it can be tricky to track time accurately. Future larger pieces of more focused research will be simpler to track and log.
objectives 2024
2. Record and release demos for tools used within the CoLab.
3. Support exploration into ethical digital tools for self-organised teams.
