Hi Julian,
A resource I found generally useful as entry point to academic research in
the field is Building Successful Online Communities (Kraut, Resnick).
I am aware of some successful citizen science like GalaxyZoo where people
can help to classify photos of galaxies and there are also some predigital
examples of citizen science like Butterfly counts (see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizen_science)

Hi all,
Wikimedia Deutschland is planning a workshop (June 23, 2017) on digital
engagement / digital volunteer work.
The aim of the workshop is to identify with other stakeholders ("classic"
NGOs, Free- and Open-Movement, Volunteers, state authorities) open
questions on digital engagement / digital volunteer work that should be
answered.
Research questions could be as follows:
- What is the difference between digital and analog engagement?
- What are the core characteristic of digital engagement?
- What should state authorities on the national and local level do in order
to support digital volunteers?
- How important is digital engagement for our society?
- ...
Is there anybody from the Wikimedia movement who can help us to broaden our
German perspective and give us international insides on this topic (e.g.
via a ten minutes video message)?
Do you know any inspiring study?
Cheers,
Julian Fischer
