Thank you to all our survey participants!

How we can improve Clicklaw

Almost 600 Clicklaw visitors participated in our survey over the last several months – thank you to everyone who took the time to send us feedback about your experience using Clicklaw. We’re in the process of analysing the results and our report will be published soon. Dozens of visitors also agreed to participate in our follow up survey, which looked at how you used the information you found through Clicklaw. People who completed this survey had the opportunity to enter their name in a draw for a Kobo Glo e-reader. Congratulations to Darlene from Victoria BC who was our lucky winner!

 

Better Legal Information Handbook

New on Clicklaw, The broader context

cleo-betterlegalinformationhandbookIf your group produces legal information for the public you’ll want to bookmark this new resource, Better Legal Information Handbook – Practical Tips for Community Workers. Produced by Community Legal Education Ontario (CLEO), this handbook provides a comprehensive overview of steps involved in planning, producing, distributing and evaluating public legal education and information (PLEI) resources. As CLEO Executive Director Julie Mathews explains in the handbook’s acknowledgements:

“The handbook covers the fundamentals: knowing your audience and writing for them, choosing the best format for your information, and usability testing and evaluating. It draws together the principles of plain language and design and gives practical advice on how to apply them.”

With practical examples from across Canada, the tips and tools in this resource will be extremely valuable for anyone involved in the development of PLEI.

The online PDF version is available for free. Copies outside Ontario are $20 – for more information on ordering a print copy, visit http://www.plelearningexchange.ca/betterinfo.
