SGER: Increasing Participation and Sustaining a Research Community in "Creativity and IT"

现有的wiki技术已经成功地鼓励了分布式和大型个人的内容协作开发。然而，一个典型的wiki并不鼓励社区积极合作或相互交流，除非他们被要求合作。该项目确定了一个框架，用于解决典型wiki技术的缺点，其中包括来自社会计算的想法，为CreativeIT wiki开发更多的社区焦点。该项目创建了一个社会技术环境，以支持研究人员，从业者和学生成为一个充满活力的社区，专注于创造力和IT，基于现有CreativeIT wiki和该领域相关研究的形成性评估。一个理论基础和经验评估的框架开发的参与文化的创建和发展。在一个真实的问题中建立拟议的研究基础，提供了一个独特的机会，以评估持续的基础上的优势和劣势。这项研究工作有助于扩大创意和IT的主题，让更多的人参与进来，并在未来长期保持努力。该项目确定了参与文化的见解、机制、指导方针和支持环境。

Existing wiki technology has successfully encouraged the collaborative development of content from a distributed and large set of individuals. However, a typical wiki does not encourage the community to actively collaborate or communicate with each other, unless they are required to collaborate. This project identifies a framework for addressing the shortcomings in typical wiki technology that encompasses ideas from social computing to develop a more community focus for the CreativeIT wiki. This project creates a socio-technical environment to support researchers, practitioners, and students to become a vibrant community focused on Creativity and IT, based on the formative evaluation of the existing CreativeIT wiki and related research in the field. A theoretically grounded and empirically evaluated framework is developed for the creation and evolution of a participation culture. Grounding the proposed research in a real problem provides a unique opportunity to assess the strengths and weaknesses on an ongoing basis. This research effort contributes to broaden the theme of Creativity and IT, involves more people to participate, and sustain the effort in the long-term future. The project identifies insights, mechanisms, guidelines, and support environments for participation cultures.
