Revision as of 19:24, 25 September 2014
North Carolina State University Genetic Engineering & Society Center iGEM TeamWe are working with Antony Evans of the Glowing Plant Project to explore what it means to act responsibly with respect to genetic engineering. Specifically, we propose an iterative concept mapping framework to assess the values that people associate with responsibly releasing genetically engineered plants beyond the laboratory.

Concept Map and Evaluation Tool
Our interactive mapping and evaluations tools are being designed to help users evaluate the potential impacts of their project. Our team has constructed a concept map of goals we feel may be of importance to potential developers. Included in this map are guiding principles that developers may wish to consider as they develop their project. To further aid developers we have designed an evaluation tool which allows users to score how much effort or consideration has gone towards our guiding principles, as well as how highly they value the principles our group has drafted.
The evaluation tool currently available is our first iteration (v1.0). The evaluation tool is currently nested within a Google Sheets file. To complete the evaluation tool:
- Click [1] to open the tool. This link will lead you to the following online spreadsheet.
- Fill in all of the empty boxes on the spreadsheet. For each statement there are two questions to consider, one related to the amount of effort or consideration that a developer has given to the statement and the second is related to how much value the developer places on the statement. Currently, all scores are normalized on a 1-5 scale so that results from different statements or principles can be quickly compared.
- After answering the questions, click on the “user results” tab in the bottom left corner of the tool. This will take you to the following page, which features the results from each statement you scored, as well as an overall average score developed for each principle.
- The score for each principle will be displayed as red, yellow, or green.
- A red score indicates that a user may not be thoroughly considering all the implications of their product
- A yellow score indicates that a user has considered some of the implications of their product
- A green score indicates that a user has thoroughly considered many, or even all of the implications of their product
Future Directions
In future iterations we plan to adjust the way scores are generated for users. In addition, we are creating a simple online interface that will replace the Google spreadsheets version of the tool. Importantly, we intend to incorporate an uncertainty score into our evaluation tool. As there are many types of uncertainty, we are still in the process of considering how best to incorporate this score.
