Airtable for study tracking
We use Airtable to track key data about the studies we run.
How to get to Airtable
- Visit our research studies base.
- If you need to be able to edit records, ask Colin for an invitation.
What we put on Airtable
Airtable is where we track basic details about what research we conduct where. For each study, we collect information about:
- The product and research question
- The number of participants
- A breakdown of participants by primary language, use of assistive technology, etc.
- Which team members take part in the research
What we don’t put on Airtable
- Anything that’s protected information, including:
- Research participant rosters (including names, email addresses, phone numbers)
- Raw research notes
- Research session recordings
- Job interviewee notes or evaluations
- Store this information in GCDocs or our secure filing cabinet.
- We don’t track internal projects on Airtable. Instead, put those projects on Trello.
Why do we do this?
Airtable serves three purposes:
- It keeps us abreast of each others work. It saves Colin and others from asking what you’re doing, when.
- We use it tochecke against our progress on our key results.
- It helps us answer basic, statistical questions about our work, like “How many people did you speak with?”
