A Comparative Study of Younger and Older Adults' Interaction with a Crowdsourcing Android TV App for Detecting Errors in TEDx Video Subtitles

Overall, the interaction with the TV-mediated crowdsourcing system relying on language profficiency was seen as intuitive, fun and accessible, but also cognitively demanding; more so for younger adults who focused on the task of detecting errors, than for older adults who concentrated more on the meaning and edutainment aspect of the videos. We also discuss participants' motivations and preliminary recommendations for the design of TV-enabled crowdsourcing tasks and subtitle QA systems.
