Abstract

This one-day workshop will showcase digital crowdsourcing projects in the
Arts and Humanities, and discuss the impact of such initiatives. 'Impact'
is a broad term, which encompasses issues connected to community, digital
curation, public engagement and knowledge exchange. Key questions will
include:

   -

   What does impact mean in this environment?
   -

   What types of impacts can be achieved by crowdsourcing initiatives?
   -

   How can crowdsourced resources balance quality control and peer review?
   -

   What are the impacts of devolving key processes away from core teams and
   institutions to public participants?
   -

   What impacts do crowdsourcing initiatives have on participants and to
   what extent is it possible to influence this?

The workshop is aimed at:

   -

   Crowdsourcing projects in the arts and humanities
   -

   Academics and students interested in researching crowdsourcing
   -

   Digital humanities scholars interested in the role of crowdsourcing in
   knowledge exchange and public engagement

   -

   Representatives of funding and evaluation bodies
