Leveling Up or Dropping Out: Searching for Learning Routines in Crowdsourced Environments

We explore patterns of interaction with different learning resources (e.g., forums) to predict learning outcomes in an online citizen science project called Gravity Spy. To explore how volunteers engage with and benefit from these resources, we classify them based on Sørensen's three forms of presence in learning envi…

ReelFramer: Human-AI Co-Creation for News-to-Video Translation

Short videos on social media are the dominant way young people consume content. News outlets aim to reach audiences through news reels---short videos conveying news---but struggle to translate traditional journalistic formats into short, entertaining videos. To translate news into social media reels, we support journa…

Evaluating MIDST, A System to Support Stigmergic Team Coordination

Data science teams working on a shared analysis face coordination problems such as dividing up the work to be done, monitoring performance and integrating the pieces. Research on distributed software development teams has raised the potential of stigmergic coordination, that is, coordination through a shared work prod…

Shifting forms of Engagement: Volunteer Learning in Online Citizen Science

Peer production projects involve people in many tasks, from editing articles to analyzing datasets. To facilitate mastery of these practices, projects offer a number of learning resources, ranging from project-defined FAQs to individually-oriented search tools and communal discussion boards. However, it is not clear w…

Socio-technical Affordances for Stigmergic Coordination Implemented in MIDST, a Tool for Data-Science Teams

We present a conceptual framework for socio-technical affordances for stigmergic coordination, that is, coordination supported by a shared work product. Based on research on free/libre open source software development, we theorize that stigmergic coordination depends on three sets of socio-technical affordances: the…

Did they login? Patterns of Anonymous Contributions in Online Communities

Researchers studying user behaviors in online communities often conduct analyses of user interaction data recorded in system logs e.g., an edit in Wikipedia. Such analysis relies on collating interactions by a unique identifier such as a user ID. However, if users can contribute without being logged-in (i.e., anonymou…
