This document outlines Citizen Cyberlab, a platform for citizen cyberscience projects. It discusses several pilot projects including ones in particle physics, disaster mapping, synthetic biology, and extreme science. It also outlines tools for creativity, understanding data, and monitoring learning. The goal is to enhance technology-enabled creative learning through citizen science games and collaboration. Projects will be evaluated based on learning outcomes, engagement, design, and process to help communities learn while contributing to scientific research.

(WH2) The broadness of learning outcomes is mostly connected to the type of engagement that projects allow. Open Data Learning Behaviours

Editor's Notes
- GeoKey provide the glue for allowing this to happen, it provide the control over the data, links to platforms such ArcGIS, presentation in community maps, and importantly, linking to mobile data collection tools
- GeoTag-X is an experimental platform for crowdsourcing the collection and analysis of photos for disaster response. Volunteer project leaders come to us with project ideas for the platform and we work together to implement them. Projects and photo sets are presented to volunteer Analysts for collection of data. Feedback from analysts and needs of project leaders guides development priorites on the platform.
- …over an extended period of time. Not just people trusting you - but themselves: their abilities to do, to question and that what they do actually matters.
- The main message is that we developed that for measuring user engagement and learning in the pilots. The framework is a combination of the CCLTracker Java Script library and existing tools such as google analytics, google tag manager, and R language for advance aggregation functions
- In D6.2 we have been exploring the many different kinds of creativity that can be found in our Citizen Cyberlab pilot projects. In the Synthetic Biology pilot, last year students made the Smell Game, and this year students have made Youtube videos. In the GeoTagX and VAS pilots, we can see creative problem-solving in the discussion threads that volunteers post. In the Extreme Citizen Science pilots, we can see creativity in volunteers’ blog posts (DIY playshops) and the newsletters and maps that volunteers create to promote their projects in their communities (air quality monitoring). By exploring creativity across a range of different citizen cyberscience contexts, we hope to uncover factors that motivate different kinds of creativity, and learn more about the different ways that creativity can impact a project.
- In some cases, playfulness facilitates the introduction of new concepts and ideas and thus breaks down barriers to full participation with otherwise ‘intimidating’ tools or spaces. In others, it provides an engaged setting for learning through curiosity and wonderment.
- The methodology of the Explorer of the World playshop series is adaptive with activities that fuse the arts and sciences into the transactions of everyday life – relevant for ppl in a way that incites engagement in science and technology but in people’s own terms.
