<div><br></div><div>An exciting opportunity awaits you! </div><div>Myunghwa Hwang and Elizabeth Wentz in School of Geographical Sciences and Urban Planning at Arizona State University (ASU) are looking for people to help evaluate and review a we-based software program for local cluster analysis. As a participant in this software evaluation, <b><u>you will be given a $5 Amazon Gift Certificate</u></b> </div>
<div>as well as have an opportunity to influence the direction, appearance, and “look and feel” of web-based spatial analysis software programs. </div><div><br></div><div>We are looking for potential candidates that represent general users of spatial analysis software programs. </div>
<div><u><b>Anyone who is over 18 years old and has the following characteristics can help our usability evaluation:</b></u></div><div><ul><li>Casual computer users</li><li>Some experiences with statistical tools (e.g., SPSS, SAS, GeoDa), GIS packages (e.g., ArcGIS, MapInfo, QGIS), or other online geospatial tools (e.g., Google Earth, Google or Yahoo Map)</li>
<li>Some knowledge of spatial analysis techniques (e.g., exploratory data analysis, spatial autocorrelation analysis, spatial regression)</li><li>No involvement with any previous versions of this survey</li></ul></div><div>
In other words, we are looking for people who are interested in using software programs to visualize and analyze map data. Will you help us?</div><div><br></div><div>If you would like to participate in our usability evaluation, </div>
<div>please check out <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wb-qmd1iDTI" target="_blank">this tutorial video stream</a> first and visit our online survey site at the following location:</div><div><a href="http://ec2-184-72-164-144.compute-1.amazonaws.com/web_sa3/" target="_blank">http://ec2-184-72-164-144.compute-1.amazonaws.com/web_sa3/</a> </div>
<div><br></div><div>The software evaluation generally takes no more than 15 minutes, and our survey system will guide you step-by-step. </div><div>If you are interested in participating in our evaluation and have any other questions, please send an email to us (<a href="mailto:mhwang4@gmail.com" target="_blank">mhwang4@gmail.com</a> or <a href="mailto:mhwang3@asu.edu" target="_blank">mhwang3@asu.edu</a>). </div>
<div><br></div><div>We hope that you will take an active role in enhancing usability of spatial analytical software programs. </div><div>Your participation is greatly appreciated.</div></div><div><div></div><div class="h5">
