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,
