Objectives

Objectives O1 - Community awareness strategy enable communities drawn from each LPI, define engagement framework implemented in WPs 2, 4, 5 O2 - Activity analysis keep track of make-up of LPIs communities to make strategic decisions O4 - LPI success framework to assess impact and inform tool design (WP4, WP5)

Tasks Community coordination Quality assessment Community health metrics

Success factors Input from different disciplines (citizen science, crowdsourcing, human computation, science and technology studies) Focus on LPIs from within Stars4All, collecting and analysing data Two components Contributions Are citizens able to solve tasks effectively? Is the data useful? Community Does the LPI appeal to people? Does it attract contributions over time? What output does it generate?

D3.4 Community health Problem LPIs need tools to manage their community of contributors LPIs need to demonstrate impact Solution Define relevant metrics Provide monitoring and reporting tools Challenge Understand requirements of a diverse set of LPIs No central/uniform community channels Offer actionable insights

Work So Far

Success Framework We studied existing frameworks to collect metrics Contributions to science Public engagement We defined a framework for data collection and analysis LPIs We built a dashboard for Dark Skies Lost At Night Cities At Night

Success Framework (2) Individual project metrics Project appeal Total number of contributors over time Public contribution Volume of contributions over project lifespan Distribution of effort Distribution of contributions over size of community Sustained engagement Median interval between first and last contribution

Dashboard Come and take a look during the round-table sessions:
