University College London Looking For Players To Interview

    <p>Hi everyone,</p>

University College London are currently doing a research project looking at engagement and motivation in citizen science and we need your help.

Our study involves a 45-60 minute interview conducted remotely over Skype, in which we are offering a £15 Amazon voucher in return for your participation. The interviews will be very casual and hopefully just good conversation!

We're interested in why you take part in Eyewire. What factors of the project engage you? What motivates you to continue taking part? And how does it fit into your day-to-day life? Equally we're interested in your criticisms too - what could be done better? What isn't being done?

Interviews will be running all week. Please send me a message if you want to take part or have any questions.

Best wishes,
Cassie

In case anyone is wondering.  Cassie has spoken with us, and we are very excited to help her with this project.  We would encourage you to speak with her if you can spare a little time, and let her know how you engage with Eyewire.  As always, we hope to improve the experience for everyone, and this is one great way for you to let us know how we can do that better!


Thanks in advance for helping her/us out!

Hi, Cassie… I’d love to share what thrills me about this project! My Skype’s rusty, so I’d need a little notice before the interview to get it ready. KLR

Great news! Thanks so much for your response.  I’ll send you a message so that we can arrange a time to chat

Hi Cassie… oh wow. I’d love to help with your research (though I won’t be very interesting!).  Sorry that I didn’t notice this before.  I’d be very happy to take part. I’m in New Zealand so we’ll have to find a time that we’re both actually awake… haha!

Hi smallljude, glad you’d like to take part.  When would be good for you?

hey all!


I just had a chat with Cassie and it was really interesting to reflect on motivations and ideas with her :slight_smile: so if you can spare a few minutes I highly recomend taking part!

looking forward to the results as well :slight_smile:

Hi, Cassie, from Bend! I’ve been pulling my hair out trying to spend that Amazon UK gift card… took a long time finding items that would ship to US. When I did, the shipping (expectedly) is 200% the item’s value… the tiniest item I found (about $5 + $10) comes to $15.49. Unfortunately they don’t accept PayPal or debit card for the $0.49! Can I send you that much via PayPal for another $0.49 credit? I can’t think of a solution… thanks!
