Workshop ‘Motivation of participants in CS projects’
Date: March 14-15, 2018
Location: Didlaukio str. 55, Mykolas Romeris University, Vilnius, LITHUANIA
Registration Deadline: December 10, 2017
The goal is to facilitate data collection about motivations to participate in CS projects across Europe.
Workshop participants will learn the theory of motivation, will participate in developing a tool to measure CS motivations, and will be equipped with tools to run a survey in their own CS project.
Assistance in data analysis will be given to participants to implement the conclusions that follow from the results in their project.
Following the workshop participants will collect and analyse data about motivations for their own projects and aggregated data will be analysed by the research leaders, Liat Levontin and Assaf Shwartz aiming to acquire a general perspective about motivation to participate in CS projects across Europe.
