Abstract
Description
How can crowdsourcing be used in the humanities? This paper describes a crowdsourcing project at the University of Alberta that developed a tool for participants to sign out audio clips for transcribing and translating from Ukrainian. The audio clips were from fieldwork on Ukrainian folklore and include stories, songs, and beliefs. We describe the design process and an environmental comparison with other crowdsourcing projects. We discuss the challenge of motivating community members with the language skills to volunteer to help with the project. Crowdsourcing only works if you can motivate sufficient participants and different participant communities call for different strategies.
