Abstract
Previous research suggests that citizen science project may involve many digital curation issues. In order to develop real world cases for teaching digital curation, seventeen managers of citizen science projects were interviewed. After digital curation issues were identified, findings were used to create teaching cases for digital curation education. One case related to the conceptualise phase of the DCC lifecycle is described. Utilising existing research data to develop cases could be useful for researchers who wish to teach concepts contextualised by “real world” events.
