We had a great response to our mini-surveys from people who volunteer for or work 'behind the scenes' in crowdsourcing, citizen science, citizen history, digital / online volunteer projects, programmes, tools or platforms with cultural heritage collections. I've posted answers to the four key questions (two in each) on our project website:
- The crowdsourcing stakeholder view on 'What do you wish you'd known at the start?' <https://collectivewisdomproject.org.uk/wish-youd-known-at-the-start/> - The crowdsourcing stakeholder view on 'Would you do anything differently with more time or resources?' <https://collectivewisdomproject.org.uk/would-you-do-anything-differently/> - The volunteer perspective on 'What are your hopes for the future of crowdsourcing / online volunteering?' <https://collectivewisdomproject.org.uk/hopes-for-the-future-of-crowdsourcing/> - The volunteer perspective on 'What makes a crowdsourcing / citizen research / online volunteering project great?' <https://collectivewisdomproject.org.uk/what-makes-a-crowdsourcing-project-great/> Cheers, Mia -------------------------------------------- http://openobjects.org.uk/ http://twitter.com/mia_out Check out my book! http://bit.ly/CrowdsourcingOurCulturalHeritage P.S.
