PROJECT DEFINITION

Subject

Engineering and technology > citizen science research, learning sciences, creativity research, human-computer interaction, serious gaming (other)

Description

CS4CS stands for Citizen Science for Citizen Science. It describes what you are looking at, i.e. the collection of forms, templates and queries that can be accessed from this wiki's Portal: citizen science page. This protect is sponsored by the EU FP 7 Citizen CyberLab. Its aim is to collect information about Citizen Science Projects that are of interest to citizen science researchers but also to the public at large. See also: CS4CS technical documentation

Purpose.

The overall Citizen Cyberlab project will research and evaluate on-line collaborative environments and software tools that stimulate creative learning in the context of Citizen Cyberscience. The purpose of the CS4CS project is to contribute to the the "general picture", i.e. understand certain aspects of citizen science by looking at a larger set of documented projects. The CS4CS sub-project aims in particular:

  • To create an inventory of citizen science projects, infrastructure and software
  • To identify properties of interest to learning, creativity, motivation and community researchers
  • To provide a searchable database and some summary statistics

Research question.

There are no specific research questions for the CS4CS project. See the Citizen CyberLab site for various posts that describe research conducted in this project.
