“…Over the years, we have seen many examples of local problem solving and innovations -such as decisions to install diffusion tubes on the balconies in the Barbican. This is an important aspect of community-led citizen science efforts, which provides background to both learning and creativity (see Jennett et al 2016 andJennett et al 2017).…”

In this chapter, we explore the potential of community-led air quality monitoring. Community-led air quality monitoring differs from top-down monitoring in many aspects: it is focused on community needs and interests and a local problem and, therefore, has a limited geographical coverage as well as limited temporal coverage. However, localised air quality monitoring can potentially increase the spatial and temporal resolution of air quality information if there is a suitable informationsharing mechanism in place: information from multiple community-led activities can be shared at the city scale and used to augment official information. At the core of the chapter, we provide a detailed experiential description of the process of urban air quality practice, from which we draw our conclusion. We suggest that accessible and reliable community-led air quality monitoring can contribute to the understanding of local environmental issues and improve the dialogue between local authorities and communities about the impacts of air pollution on health and urban and transport planning.

“…La naturaleza colaborativa y participativa de la Ciencia Abierta y Ciudadana posibilitan pensar nuevas relaciones para desarrollar proyectos de investigación que derivan en nuevos conocimientos. Las investigaciones que recurren a la colaboración del ciudadano, tienen como opción no solo la recolección de datos en un número amplio y heterogéneo, cubriendo mayores hitos en un menor porcentaje de tiempo, sino también contar con la creatividad de los ciudadanos para generar nuevas ideas sobre el objeto de investigación al traer consigo sus propias experiencias (Jennett et al, 2017). Frente a la investigación aislada y en solitario, el desarrollo abierto y colaborativo favorece pensar en otras formas de creación de conocimiento desde la participación colectiva.…”

“…El desarrollo y el uso generalizado de Internet es clave para esta transformación". Frente a este nuevo paradigma, el de la creatividad como un proceso colectivo, se están realizando investigaciones desde diferentes espacios, tales como la Computación en Nube ( Cloud Computing), o los Cursos Masivos Abiertos (Massive Open Online Course (MOOC)) (Jennett et al, 2017) A través de un análisis sistematizado con voluntarios, el estudio logra determinar que desde la colaboración de la comunidad que participa en los proyectos, surgen nuevos intercambios y acciones creativas. La investigación parte de conclusiones de trabajos anteriores en donde determinaron las siguientes características:…”

Este artículo aborda la creación colectiva desde una triple relación: Ludificación, juego y videojuego, en vinculación con las ciencias, particularmente, con la Ciencia Ciudadana. El término Ciencia Ciudadana responde a la elaboración de estudios científicos que realizan ciudadanos no especializados, en colaboración con científicos o instituciones científicas. Existen numerosos ejemplos de proyectos de investigación en Ciencia Ciudadana que han sido ludificados o han desarrollado videojuegos completos. Desde este enfoque, los videojuegos y la Ludificación se manifiestan como un engranaje para incorporar nuevos saberes, pero también, para crear y desarrollar investigaciones colectivas.

“…Analytics in the large sense can also be used to detect and evaluate creativity in the interaction of participants; Jennett & al., for instance, indicate that an active project community is a good stimulator of creativity (Jennett, Eveleigh, K., & Cox, 2013). Data such as the discussion boards of project forums are also potentially useful for assessing learning and creativity through methods of text analysis such as topic modelling, named entity recognition, key phrase extraction, or sentiment analysis.…”

Citizen Cyberscience (CCS) projects are online projects that engage participants with no necessary prior scientific experience in online tasks of very varied types and that contribute to the scientific research in different domains. Many research studies confirm the usefulness of CCS projects to researchers while less has been done to explore their added-value for the participants. Specifically, we are interested to know to what extent CCS projects help participants learn while participating through typically small-sized and very specific tasks.We propose in this work to include another source of quantitative data to the research toolbox usually used to evaluate learning in informal learning contexts as the one of citizen science. This data source is learning analytics that makes use of the already very ubiquitous web analytics and that is heavily used in varied online learning environments. Based on our experimentations with two CCS pilot projects, we created a framework to help CCS project designers properly implement learning analytics in their project in order to make the full use of these analytics and integrate them with other sources of quantitative data related to the user experience. We apply the proposed framework to explore the interaction between learning and engagement in two pilot CCS projects of different types: volunteer thinking and gaming. Based on our experience, we conclude with few good practices and recommendations to avoid pitfalls.
