Abstract

The number of elderly people in the world has been growing every year as well as their interest in using computer and internet. Crowdsourcing systems can benefit from the participation of these elderly people, however, little is known about the use of these systems by this public. The aim of our research is to propose a motivation model to support understanding crowdsourcing usage by elderly people. In this article, we present preliminary results of an exploratory study performed with interviews and observations with 6 old-aged people performing micro-tasks crowdsourcing known as Human Intelligence Task (HIT). The results indicate the potential of crowdsourcing to become a fun activity and pastime for elderly, as well as supporting the increase of self-esteem, and social engagement.
