4. Not more content. Smarter content

Facebook livestream replay and blog on content design for charities.

Useful because:

  • It’ll show you simple techniques and methods to design your services better for digital, while involving all your stakeholders
  • Includes questions from charities like yours

5. What is ‘user value’?

From the Tech for Good Hub archives. Very relevant to charities now.

This article explains the difference and shows you some examples of user value (including Mario Kart)

We’ve managed to stick to five for the #fourthweekrunning. That means we owe you four more puppies.
