Matter Mobile

note: this plan never got off the ground per lack of capacity

MATTER MOBILE VIRTUAL

Launching June 2020

What we need to determine:

1. Software

   1. see ArcGIS info below, look further into it - probably costs

   2. Look into Google Tour Builder (info below) and other options

2. Whether we want to focus on neighborhoods, coverage topics, etc.

   1. COVID

      1. Prompt every month - either 1 or option of 3

         1. How COVID is affecting eviction, home ownership, renting, transportation, work from home, ability to start small businesses, ability to take on student loans

3. What else is involved?

   1. Creating editorial content from a monthly roundup/highlights - Jae

4. Who will be responsible for what

   1. Jae build out, management

      1. May try to code something

      2. Help from interns - Twinkle or Kevin

5. Marketing plan (basic outline)

   1. Targeted

      1. Not based on neighborhoods, but do we want to solicit one neighborhood per month

         1. Boosted post or ad

         2. Nextdoor

         3. Facebook Groups

         4. Put things in people’s mailboxes

            1. But I think that’s illegal technically

         5. Phone # people can call in and give audio

            1. Accessibility - need to maintain some level of it when virtual

6. Next steps

   1. Jae

      1. Look into software, consider coding app

   2. Market that we’ll be in your neighborhood

   3. Asking for interviews on specific subtopics or stories

      1. E.g. go to Linden, focus on One Linden

   4. Content specifically coming out of the program

      1. Audio content, videos, etc.

   5. MM Needs:

      1. Soundproofing fixed

      2. Door with railing

      3. Railing for roof or PVC piping thingy idea

         1. Do these things in April before Jae leaves - we set a day for it :)

   6. 
      

BLURB:

• We can no longer take our Matter Mobile studio out into the community as planned this season due to COVID, so we are bringing the studio into your home. This Summer and Fall, the Matter team wants to hear from folks in Columbus’ diverse neighborhoods. We are over a year into our deep dive into Columbus’ growth and development and we are still learning how this important issue impacts different people and places. Each month, we invite a different community to share how the city’s growth and development has impacted them in terms of changes to housing, jobs, and transportation. How have things changed in your neck of the woods? What are the biggest development challenges you and your neighbors are experiencing? We invite you to submit a short piece of writing, audio, photo, and/or video on this topic. We may feature it on our website, so make sure it’s something you don’t mind the public seeing.

Go with the same schedule planned for in-person, except put the call out only online. We are pushing the original schedule back 1 month to give us more time to prep and promote

• Schedule

  • June — South Side

  • July — Short North

  • August — King Lincoln Bronzeville

  • September — Weinland Park

  • October — Linden

• Prompts

  • What kind of city/neighborhoods do Columbus residents want?

  • How is Columbus’ growth and development impacting your life?

  • How has your neighborhood changed in recent times?

• Tool

  • Story Maps

    • May also be a good option and may be more customizable/pretty than Tour Builder (but it coulda just been the examples i looked at)

      • Esri Story Maps combine your maps with narrative text, images, and multimedia content to create compelling, user-friendly web apps. In this lesson, you'll use Classic Story Maps builders to create a Story Map Tour, a Story Map Cascade, and a Story Map Journal.

      • Looking for the new ArcGIS StoryMaps? Follow the Getting to Know the New ArcGIS StoryMaps path to learn how to use the new interactive builder to create your multimedia stories.

      • Requires an ArcGIS account (create a free ArcGIS Public Account or get a free trial)

        • Maybe we have an ARC GIS account between Ris, Jae, Nasia?

      • Form on Airtable that compiles into Database and then pull from there and plug into the system

      • I looked into it and I’m a bit unsure on the pricing scheme, but the good news is it looks like we may be able to get it for free for 1 year - I just have to see if they count us due to fiscal sponsorship. I applied, so we have to wait and see.

      • I need to understand more about the credits system. It says video is supported, but then it makes it sound like it may charge each time its viewed:

        • “Credits are the currency used in ArcGIS Online and across the ArcGIS platform for transactions such as storage, spatial analysis, and using premium content. In ArcGIS StoryMaps, credits are only consumed for data storage (uploaded images and video), capabilities that use premium content (Living Atlas maps), or ArcGIS Online analysis. Authoring stories in the ArcGIS StoryMaps builder does not consume credits. If you create a map that uses hosted feature service layers, tile service layers, or both, credits may be consumed for data storage. To learn more about credits and how they are used, see Understand credits and ArcGIS Online Credits Overview; credits are not used for ArcGIS Enterprise organizations.”

  • Other tools

    • ZeeMaps

      • Think this is similar to what we want, but I don’t know that it has enough. Seems you can upload a pic, but not video, etc.

    • Tour Builder

      • Think this might be what we want:

        • Google Tour Builder is a web-based storytelling tool which lets you easily create and explore stories and places around the world. You can create a tour of any subject of your choosing, zooming in to show the places where events took place, and easily integrating the story’s text, photos and videos. Your tour will take users from one place to the next along the storyline of your tour, immersing them in the relevant places through Google Earth’s imagery and the custom content you provide.

    • Data Wrapper - I don’t think it does quite what we want (don’t see room for pics or vids)

    • StoryMaps

      • https://storymap.knightlab.com/

    • Mapbox
