[OSM-talk] Gamification in Volunteered Geographic Information in regard with Contributors' Motivations

[Ben Discoe]

I thought it was odd that the survey listed two osm "gamifications" I'd
never heard of, and didn't mention a few I do know of, like the missingmaps
leaderboard ( http://www.missingmaps.org/leaderboards/#/missingmaps ), the
telenav challenges (2014-2015, with leaderboard and cash prizes) or
numerous other leaderboards like MapLesotho's (
http://maplesotho.cbroderick.me ), not to mention the OSM rank itself, as
it appears on HDYC ( http://hdyc.neis-one.org/ ) which I check daily. HDYC
shows that there are still two human accounts higher-ranked than me,
obviously I must map harder!! :)

Hello,



My name is Chen Chen and I am a Masters student working under the
supervision of Dr. Peter Johnson in the Department of Geography and
Environmental Management at the University of Waterloo. We are currently
seeking volunteers from the OpenStreetMap (OSM) community to participate in
a study that focuses on the impact of game elements on motivations to
contribute to OSM. We would like to invite you to join our study.

Participation in this study involves a web questionnaire, with a potential
follow-up interview. The link to the web questionnaire is:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/osmvgigamification. The questionnaire
should take
approximately 20 minutes of your time. This study has been reviewed and
received ethics clearance through a University of Waterloo Research Ethics
Committee.



In appreciation of the time you have given to this study, you can enter
your email address into a draw for a $50 Amazon Gift Card. Your odds of
winning the prize is based on the number of individuals who participate in
the study. The final decision about participation is yours.



Sincerely,



Chen Chen
