From community building to network science to ethnography, browse our current curriculum..
We're building a common sense curriculum that upholds the rights of citizens online and pushes towards a more transparent and informative landscape of connected communities.
With electoral systems being targeted, filter bubbles polarising news channels and the increasing echo chamber of social media, we believe the current systems in place represent a hindrance rather than a path to collective intelligence.
At Edgeryders we know that collective intelligence has the power to tackle the challenges facing our society. We build systems to channel this power for the good and demonstrate to others how to do the same.
All of these learnings go into our online academy for people to discover and learn the new practices and skills, and replicate the results. The courses are produced by peers for peers through a collaborative effort and then shared beyond the network.
Ethnographers do participant-observation, spending a lot of time in the social environment that they are studying. As a result ethnography is really good at capturing nuances and understanding how and why communities behave the way they do.
With this course we want to move away from the idea of ethnography as a lone practice. We want to explore a new way of research, open and collective, that we call Collective Ethnography.
Open Ethnographer is one of the most important tools that we use for doing this and we believe that it enables a powerful and scalable way to allow online collaboration and find deeper discoveries in data analysis.

Coming in Q2 2018, unlock the power of the semantic social network with Graphryder, a new tool developed by Ethnographers in collaboration with Edgeryders. Understand conversations like never before using rich data visualizations, tags and co-occurence.
Graphryder is a dashboard tool that allow us to analyze the conversations that are happening in a community through reading of ethnographic data. Graphryder is based on innovative academic research which has led to publication in scientific journals.
