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来自分布式和大量个人的内容的协作开发。然而，一个典型的wiki并不鼓励社区积极协作或相互交流，除非他们被要求协作。该项目确定了一个框架，用于解决典型wiki技术中的缺点，该框架包含了来自社会计算的思想，以便为CreativeIT wiki开发更关注社区的内容。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，基于现有的CreativeIT wiki和相关研究领域的形成性评估。为参与文化的创造和演变，建立了一个理论基础和经验评估框架。将所提议的研究置于实际问题中提供了一个独特的机会，可以在持续的基础上评估其优缺点。这项研究有助扩阔“创意与资讯科技”的主题，让更多人参与，并使研究工作在长远的未来得以持续。该项目确定参与文化的见解、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.
