From Flickr to Vimeo to the Internet Archive, more platforms exist than ever before for creators to share their works and users to find them. But what happens beyond the upload and license stage? And after the download or right-click-save-as stage? Why are people using these platforms, how are they using them, and with whom are they engaging?
Current design of the commons doesn't drive community, collaboration or gratitude. How can we design interaction on platforms to create a more vibrant, usable, and collaborative commons? How can we help users get from “I would like to host my work somewhere” to “I would like to share my work with the commons community”?
Join us in this workshop where we will frame the problem, share stories of user engagement, and begin designing solutions to offer CC users a better sense of community and connectedness to the grander Creative Commons vision.
