motivating participation
DESCRIPTION
A project to engage users as participants only works if people are sufficiently motivated to show up and get involved. This presentation covers three aspects of motivating participants: addressing their core desires, inviting them clearly, and responding to/celebrating their work. Presented by Nina Simon of Museum 2.0 for a MIDEA webinar on December 7, 2010.TRANSCRIPT

“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.”
