this is a discussion about how, not why.

participate.

LESSON 2:PEOPLE CONTRIBUTE DIFFERENT THINGS WHEN GIVEN DIFFERENT PROMPTS & INPUT MECHANISMS.

Lowell National Historical Park

“The percentage of ‘unrelated’ responses decreased from 58% (white cards) to 40% (blue cards), and ‘specific’ responses nearly doubled, from 28% (white) to 50% (blue).”

LESSON 3:RESPONSIVENESS IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANYTHING ELSE.

HOW CAN USERS MAKE THIS PROJECT BETTER?

“At first, I wasn't sure whether or not my responses were useful to anybody. It took a long time for any feedback to filter through. When it did come I really appreciated Nina's thanks and encouragement. That's what kept me coming back to the site.”
