Call for CSCW Workshop participants: Designing online experiments

*Designing online experiments: Citizen science approaches to research*
(Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this call)

CSCW 2016 Workshop
http://cscw.acm.org/2016
Sunday, February 28th, 2016
San Francisco, CA, USA

*WORKSHOP WEBSITE*: http://volunteerscience.com/workshop
*SUBMISSION DEADLINE*:  December 31, 2015
*ACCEPTANCE NOTIFICATIONS*: January 8, 2016
*APPLICATION*: Experiment proposal (500-750 words) + participant bio (200 words)
*SUBMISSION*: Submit applications via email to j.radford@neu.edu

*APPLICATION PROCESS*:
New information technologies allow for new modes of data collection, provide unparalleled computational resources, and facilitate long-distance collaboration. Programs like Galaxy Zoo, Fold.It, and ReCAPTCHA demonstrate the power of recruiting online volunteers as participants and contributors to research. Platforms like Project Implicit, SciStarter, and Volunteer Science confirm that a wide range of social scientific research can be conducted with volunteers in online laboratories.

This workshop will provide hands-on training on cutting-edge approaches to online experimentation. Participants will learn how to create experiments using the Volunteer Science platform (www.volunteerscience.com). Due to the applied nature of the training (workshop organizers and facilitators will work individually with each team), we can only accept up to 25 participants.

In order to apply for the workshop, candidates should submit a brief proposal (500-750 words) describing the experiment they will develop during the training. Participants are encouraged to apply in teams of up to five members. Submissions should include a short (100-200 words) bio for each team member describing their relevant experience.

Submissions will be evaluated by the organizers based on the nature of the proposed experiment: its feasibility, appropriateness for the platform, protection of human subjects, and scientific relevance. Participants who have some prior familiarity with experimental research frameworks and web design skills (JavaScript, HTML5, Flash) are preferred as they would be most likely to benefit from this workshop.
