Abstract

SCHNEIDER, Daniel  and  SOUZA, Jano de. Building a social curation environment to engage citizens in news stories: an ADR case. RISTI [online]. 2016, n.20, pp.99-114. ISSN 1646-9895.  https://doi.org/10.17013/risti.20.99-114.

In this article we describe the second design and evaluation cycle of Acropolis, a social computing platform that allows citizens to build and share their personal narratives about complex or long-term news stories. Experimental results produced through quantitative and qualitative evaluations have shown, by positive evidence, that our proposed approach was able to support citizen engagement in collaborative curation of news content. By using the ADR research methodology, we concluded the second cycle of this study with a set of design recommendations for building similar platforms.

Keywords : social curation; user-curated narratives; crowdsourcing; design science research.
