Abstract
I aim to understand how individuals may be motivated non-financially to collaborate in maintaining evolving information asynchronously. I have developed two systems, Drafty and Sketchy, that provide evidence of achieving this goal at differing timescales. In Drafty, unpaid contributors voluntarily update a tabular dataset of Computer Science professor profiles at a multi-year timescale. In Sketchy, university students simultaneously sketch and co-inspire each other during voluntary UI/UX sketching activities at a sub-hour timescale. I seek to integrate lessons from both systems to develop a theoretical framework that uses a feedback cycle to provide users with practical random examples from evolving information to motivate new contributions. I will further develop this theoretical framework by extending Drafty to generate insights to automatically attract visitors and create the Virtual Readability Lab (VRL) to help users improve their reading performance through personalized readability tests and deepen our understanding of information design human performance. Both systems will give users the agency to seek randomized insights within a naturalistic setting to motivate continuous contributions to each system's evolving information.
