Designing an Interface for Citizen Science Platforms Ensuring a Good User Experience
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The engagement of volunteers on Citizen Science platforms can considerably be influenced by an intuitive and motivating user interface. This thesis elaborates on a design approach for collaborative Citizen Science platforms that involve their contributors during multiple stages of the scientific research process. The approach provides design concepts, which ensure a good user experience and therefore support a modern science process carried out by professional scientists and lay people. Based on the Citizen Science platform ARTizen, which provides a framework for a collaborative data analysis of art history, an implementation demonstrates the feasibility of the design approach.

Design Guidelines for the User-Centred Collaborative Citizen Science Platforms
Online Citizen Science platforms are good examples of socio-technical systems where technology-enabled interactions occur between scientists and the general public (volunteers). Citizen Science platforms usually host multiple Citizen Science projects, and allow volunteers to choose the ones to participate in. Recent work in the area has demonstrated a positive feedback loop between participatio...

متن کاملThe Impact of Task Workflow Design on VGI Citizen Science Platforms
Citizen science platforms allow non-scientists to take part in scientific research across a range of disciplines, and often involve the collection of volunteered geographic information from remotely sensed imagery. What these systems ask of volunteers varies considerably in terms of task type, level of user judgement required and user freedom. This work studied the Zooniverse‟s Planet Four proj...
متن کاملCrowdclass: Designing Classification-Based Citizen Science Learning Modules
In this paper, we introduce Crowdclass, a novel framework that integrates the learning of advanced scientific concepts with the crowdsourcing microtask of image classification. In Crowdclass, we design questions to serve as both a learning experience and a scientific classification. This is different from conventional citizen science platforms which decompose high-level questions into a series ...
