Here’s a link to the blog I created. The content to review is on the Home/Welcome page, Blog page, and Essential Reading page, which includes all of my references. I look forward to getting everyone’s feedback.
As I researched AI in HR this summer, I realized that there isn’t an online resource center dedicated to collecting and sharing information about this issue. I saw an opportunity to create a blog that could eventually grow to become the trusted resource for the community interested in this topic. My target audience includes people concerned with protecting worker and civil rights, including the workers themselves, but more specifically individuals who have some authority to make change, such as disability rights activists, social justice activists, legislators, scholars, journalists, and people working in employment law. My audience also includes business and human resource leaders, developers of AI for HR technologies, and others interested in improving their products and practices.
I realize that the long-term scope of this project is huge, so my goal was to set up a flexible framework for the blog and write a couple of posts to welcome readers and introduce some of the more pressing issues, especially those related to bias and discrimination. Depending on how much revising I need to do by next week, I may also add a sample advocacy letter in that section of the site.
I know it will require lots of effort to draw traffic to a new blog, but I can imagine ways to do that by writing posts on other sites and referencing my blog, using social media, and inviting contributing writers who have many followers. Because different stakeholders have different goals, I will strive to invite contributions from different points of view. Ideally, the blog would grow to become a vibrant forum for the exchange of information and discussion of issues leading to more transparency, more accountability, and real change.
This is really shaping up well, Dylan–your organization is effective, and your text highly readable. I would suggest that you incorporate the “Get Involved” segment from the blog again into the Advocacy Tools section. (It’s okay to have some redundant content, as people may navigate through the site differently.)
Let me know if you have any questions as you continue.
Hi Dylan,
I really liked your project. When I clicked on the link, I was not expecting that looked that good presentation wise right off the bat. I really enjoyed the simplicity of the website, and how you were able to use different fonts to make certain quotes stand out. I thought that was effective and done well. For the advocacy tools, maybe if you could get some links to articles on the issue surrounding AI in HR that would be helpful. Or if there is a blog for just HR to connect with each other see if there are any posts on that that would be useful to just hyperlink.
I also liked your about section. I think it would also be beneficial to include a paragraph on why the issue is important to you to show that you’re passionate about the subject. I think it would be a nice element to add on top.
Great job on your project and have a good weekend.
Hi Dylan,
This was so impressive! I loved how you can navigate the site through clicking different sections that are relevant to your topic. The organization is spot on. As Julia also said, resources/tools/videos would be a great addition to the advocacy tools section. Are you hoping to engage conversations on the blog as part of your project ? Will you maintain this site once the course ends? This is super cool and I am excited to see what else you add and where it goes!
