AFFORCE: Actionable Framework for Designing Crowdsourcing Experiences for Older Adults (2207.03170v1)

Abstract: In this article we propose a unique framework for designing attractive and engaging crowdsourcing systems for older adults, which is called AFFORCE (Actionable Framework For Crowdsourcing Experiences). We first categorize and map mitigating factors and barriers to crowdsourcing for older adults to finally discuss, present and combine system elements addressing them into an actionable reference framework. This innovative framework is based on our experience with the design of crowdsourcing systems for older adults in exploratory cases and studies, related work, as well as our and related research at the intersection of older adults' use of ICT, crowdsourcing and citizen science.
