The Role of Gamification in Participatory Environmental Sensing - A Study In the Wild
Offered By: Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore a 20-minute conference talk examining the impact of gamification on participatory environmental sensing. Delve into an experimental study comparing gamified and non-gamified mobile applications for capturing lake ice coverage data in sub-arctic regions. Discover key findings on user engagement, participation, and the effectiveness of gamification in citizen science initiatives. Gain insights into the methodologies used, qualitative data collected, and design reflections for future participatory sensing projects. Learn about the challenges, limitations, and potential implications of incorporating gamification elements in environmental data collection efforts.
