participate

We are happy to share the iSquare  protocol with other scholars who wish to learn more about visual conceptions of information, or to adapt and apply the protocol to study other concepts.  We also offer guidance for educational applications of iSquares with students at all levels of information studies.  

​Here are additional resources:

• as an examplar, a sample of 308 iSquares from the Corpus, showing the drawings (front sides) and written responses to "Information is..." 
• a statement  on the theoretical framework and the draw-and-write technique
• the iSquare protocol, that is the data-gathering method; it can also be used as a classroom activity or ice-breaker
• a template to produce blank iSquares on a printer or photocopier
• a sample solicitation email to request participation in data-gathering (see iSquare Protocol, Setting and Timing)
• instructions for a basic iSquare classroom activity (see Education, Basic iSquare Activity)
• instructions for an intermediate iSquare assignment (see Education, Intermediate iSquare Assignment)
• instructions for an advanced collaborative research project (see Education, Advanced Collaborative Research Project)
• a listing of iSquare publications and presentations (see Resources)
