1) What is crowdsourcing
1.1) What is Crowdsourcing?
Crowdsourcing is the process of getting work or funding, usually online, from a crowd of people. The word is a combination of the words 'crowd' and 'outsourcing'. The idea is to take work and outsource it to a crowd of workers.
Crowdsourcing is an innovative way of organising jobs and workers. The collaborative brainstorming enables hundreds or even thousands of people to contribute their thoughts and energies to a single task and can support complicated jobs that conventional means could never manage. Crowdsourcing uses an Internet task market, usually called a crowdsourcing platform, to connect workers to jobs. It enables those workers to take the kinds of jobs that they like and to complete those jobs when and where they want. Employers can find the kinds of workers they need, with the specific skills for their jobs, and pay for only the amount of work they need.
But what is needed to make crowdsourcing work? The principle of crowdsourcing is that more heads are better than one. By canvassing a large crowd of people for ideas, skills, or participation, the quality of content and idea generation will be superior.
There are 4 different ways how crowdsourcing works:
It is like a large labour force for agencies. They can simply post the work and workers can find agencies
Agencies ask questions to the crowd to find solutions to their problems
Agencies can get help in finding and organising knowledge
In addition the agency get feedback, ideas and opinions from the crowd.
So there are different ways how crowdsourcing works and how you can use it.
1.2) Who can use crowdsourcing?
On one hand crowdsourcing can be used by everybody: by agencies, governments,
