E-Collaborative for Civic Education
Bids Due: June 30, 2013
About the Project
E-Collaborative for Civic Education is soliciting bids for a website design using Drupal and development of a mobile application. Our aim is to leverage the Internet to provide civic actors in repressive regimes with the tools and resources to achieve their civic goals. User security, ease of accessibility, and user-friendliness are high priorities. Site development changes will include the following:
- Website design: This *multi-language* website is open to the public, incorporates a discussion forum, and is linked to social networks. The website will also be an integral part of the mobile app, enabling mobile users to access the website and forum safely and easily.
- A mobile/tablet application and platform: The mobile and tablet applications will provide access to the ECCE network of websites, Facebook pages, and Twitter accounts, all integrated together. Users would be able to post to the website discussion forum from their handhelds. Possible additional features include a function enabling users to automatically report issues to ECCE, as well as a digital safety component such as providing an automatic security scan on websites. The mobile app should also be able to accomodate mobile games to be developed in the future.
