Community Hub is a community-centered communication platform, with tools to gather data and put it on display. With them, organizations, neighborhoods and cities engage, educate, motivate and empower their communities, building connection and resilience in a rapidly changing environment.
More about Community HubEasy to use interactive digital signage makes it simple for multiple stakeholders to post and update content that connects community members with both organization and location-specific and community-wide information and events
Our phone application is easily customized to meet the communication goals of each community. Viewers can directly access content that interests them on their phone and can also control current content displayed on the digital sign nearest to them by scanning a QR code
CH content, such as community calendars, real-time data visualizations, and navigable dashboards can be easily customized and embedded into the websites of any partner organization
Building Dashboard tracks and communicates patterns of real-time resource use in buildings in ways that engage, are easy to understand and make connections between resource conservation and resulting environmental and community benefits.
Citywide Dashboard is an animated visualization of whole-community flows of electricity, drinking water, and current environmental conditions. It is designed to enhance residents’ understandings of how they are connected to a larger whole — a whole that is ultimately dependent on renewable resource flows and a healthy environment.
Data Hub is a powerful and intuitive package of online data visualization tools. Data Hub makes it easy for managers, educators, students and communicators to translate real-time data acquired from a variety of sources into compelling visualizations that are easily understood and can be shared on websites and digital signage to tell stories of impact and opportunity.
Illustrated stories explain how local systems work, starting with nine from Oberlin College's Sustainable Infrastructure Program. They play on screens, phones and the web.
Community Voices combines images and words drawn from the full diversity of a community to celebrate and cultivate thought and actions that advance ecological, economic, and social resilience. Community Hub’s unique software makes it easy to build, manage, organize and customize content into powerful messages for display on digital signage, phone apps, and websites.
