This is a continuation of an Engage Grant Project that involved developing a moose tracking and inventory management system. During the initial stage of that project we tested several assumptions and discovered some surprising results. For example, game models, such as leader-boards and badges do not motivate the user group. In fact some participants found it intrusive and offensive. As a result we have scaled back the game models in the app. Also, 100% of the hunters we interviewed were motivated to use the app for the sole reason it could help biologists get better data on moose populations. Throughout this project, we will focus on customer engagement and data validation processes. Some of the research challenges to be addressed will be: (1) How do we connect with people who are using the app and develop systems for customer discovery after the app is in a real world setting? (2) How do we maintain relationships with the customer? (3) How do we effectively extract valuable data from incorrect data? (4) How do we develop cross validation tools to gauge the quality of data?

这是参与资助项目的延续，该项目涉及开发驼鹿跟踪和库存管理系统。在项目的初始阶段，我们测试了几个假设并发现了一些令人惊讶的结果。例如，排行榜和徽章等游戏模式并不能激励用户群体。事实上，一些参与者认为它具有侵入性和冒犯性。因此，我们缩减了应用程序中的游戏模型。此外，我们采访的100%的猎人都有动机使用该应用程序，唯一的原因是它可以帮助生物学家获得更好的驼鹿种群数据。
