Participation in LiveScience

Participation projects in LiveScience:

1. “Help the scientist”

2. Crowdsourcing object labels

3. “Many hands”

Page 12: 112 ilsevan zeeland_citizen science and crowd sourcing

1. Help the scientist

Page 13: 112 ilsevan zeeland_citizen science and crowd sourcing

1. Help the scientist

Page 14: 112 ilsevan zeeland_citizen science and crowd sourcing

1. Help the scientist

- Primary school

- Manipulation real fossils

- Exactly the same as a real scientist

- Part of scientific process

- Pupils are devoted and seriously doing this task

- Teachers liked the project too

Page 15: 112 ilsevan zeeland_citizen science and crowd sourcing

2. Crowdsourcing: Typing labels

Page 16: 112 ilsevan zeeland_citizen science and crowd sourcing

2. Crowdsourcing: application

DEMON 1 Scientist

Page 23: 112 ilsevan zeeland_citizen science and crowd sourcing

DEMON 1 Scientist

1. They have other priorities, they have to publish in important journals to be sure of their own future research

2. Scientist are sometimes off to expeditions, or not available for longer times

3. They often have multiple projects going on at the same time

4. Science is a slow process, slower then most visitors can understand

5.They are busy, with their scientific research but also education, outreach, funding, ………

Page 24: 112 ilsevan zeeland_citizen science and crowd sourcing

DEMON 2 Collections

Page 25: 112 ilsevan zeeland_citizen science and crowd sourcing

DEMON 2 Collections

1.They should not be too fragile (so visitors can manipulate them)

2.They should not be too important (in case some break or get lost)

3.They should not be too unattractive (If there isn’t anything interesting on it, it will be hard to engage with)

4.They should be in sufficient amounts available (if the project is successful then you will need much of these collections)

5.They should be clear (If it is too hard to recognize, it will be hard to engage with)

Page 26: 112 ilsevan zeeland_citizen science and crowd sourcing

DEMON 3 Marketing

Page 27: 112 ilsevan zeeland_citizen science and crowd sourcing

DEMON 3 Marketing

1.Find ways to promote participatory projects

2.Find out which audiences are really happy and excited by this participation, who are they? Where are they?

3.These project are continues instead of a certain moment (like exhibitions) this means another communication plan

4.Communicate clearly to visitors what and how this project is different then the usual programs

5.Communication with colleagues that are involved in this project (much more people are involved in this)

Page 28: 112 ilsevan zeeland_citizen science and crowd sourcing

DEMON 4 Visitors

Page 29: 112 ilsevan zeeland_citizen science and crowd sourcing

DEMON 4 Visitors

1. The role of the visitor is changing

2. We are trying something new, but does a visitors understand?

3. It has to be clear what we want from them.

4. Otherwise their experience is confusing and makes them feel lost.

Page 30: 112 ilsevan zeeland_citizen science and crowd sourcing

DEMON 5 Education

Page 31: 112 ilsevan zeeland_citizen science and crowd sourcing

DEMON 5 Education

1.The project should meet the general mission of the education department (otherwise they will not put priority on it)

2.It means more work for the educator (labeling the sorted collections)

3.It should fit with the school program (otherwise the teachers won’t come)

4.It should be clear what pupils have to do and what they will learn

5.The educators should understand and like the project. (otherwise they will not do the project with their pupils)
