Jangala’s Digital Inclusion Cards are now available as an open-source resource

These cards are an open-source resource for anyone to use. Feel free to print, cut out, and use them in whatever way suits your needs. When referencing or sharing these cards, please credit Jangala (see full licensing terms below).

Discover how we used the cards in our research on digital inclusion in temporary accommodation in the video below.

• What are digital inclusion cards?

  Each card is the name of a type of activity we do online. These cards are designed for in-person engagement. You could use them for community facilitation, research, an explorative game - it’s up to you.

  You could use them to help understand what is important to people, what makes them nervous, or what they want to learn.

• Why have you made them?

  We made the cards to help us do research interviews with people who use Jangala technology to get online.

  We find using cards to talk about being online helps people relax, feel comfortable and share. It can also help people feel more empowered to focus a conversation on what is important to them.

  In research this is called a participatory method. This is about giving power to the people we are talking to, and enabling them to lead and collaborate in research.

• How can I get access to the cards?

  You’ll need access to a printer and some scissors.

  • Download the PDF file
  • Print onto A4 paper (make sure your printer settings are set to ‘Fit to paper’ and ‘One sided’)
  • Cut out each card
  • If you want to laminate them, you can
  • Print extra blank cards, if you like

• How do I use the cards?

  It’s really up to you. You can lay the cards out, or give them to participants as a deck to sort through. You might want to ask people about things they do online, want to do, or never do. Or you could encourage people to order them according to how important they are.

  Sharing our online lives can be sensitive. People are sometimes embarrassed about what they can or cannot do. We found making throwaway piles can help people relax if there’s things they haven’t tried or feel nervous about doing.

• Are the cards accessible?

  We have tried to make them accessible by using large card sizes, large font and icons. There is also a black and white version which might suit some users better.

  If you see something that could be improved for accessibility, do let us know at info@janga.la.

• Can I access the cards in other languages?

  So far, we have only released a version in English. But if you want to translate them, we would love to see it. Please see the licensing terms below.

• Do I have to pay?

  Nope. These are free for you to use. Please mention Jangala if you’re producing research or presentations, or posting online about them.

• How did you choose the categories?

  The categories are the types of activities that digitally excluded people might recognise and relate to. They were developed by Jangala as part of our research with people who are digitally excluded. We made changes to the cards based on what we learned from using them.

• Do you have a digital version?

  No. Currently these are only made for print. We created them to have conversations with people who are digitally excluded in an in-person setting.

• Do I have to use them in a research setting?

  Not at all. These are to be used however you want, in community engagement, learning sessions or for play. It’s really up to you.

• Can I use these cards in a commercial setting?

  Yes. Please credit Jangala and see the licensing terms below. We hope they are useful to you.

• What does the licensing mean?

  The license means these cards are free to download, print and use however you want. Please mention Jangala if you write a report or post on social media about them.
