The <strong>crowdsourcing definition<\/strong> encompasses the idea of leveraging collective intelligence and includes a spectrum from unpaid projects like Wikipedia to various paid endeavors.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t<p>The principle therefore describes a process in which companies outsource parts of their work processes\r\n\t\t\t\tand fall back on a community of thousands of people (the crowd) instead of individual service providers.\r\n\t\t\t\tCompanies, so to speak, work with the \u201cintelligence of the masses\u201d. Individual persons who participate\r\n\t\t\t\tin the crowd are called crowd workers or clickworkers often registered on crowdsourcing platforms.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t<p>Crowdsourcing projects work with or without payment. The best-known example of a crowdsourcing project in which crowd workers are not paid is the online encyclopedia <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wikipedia.org\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wikipedia<\/a>. It is a crowdsourcing platform where anyone can contribute, and everyone can edit or improve the content. However, the definition of crowdsourcing is not limited to financial aspects but also extends to its different types and application areas, indicating the breadth and versatility of this approach in modern business and collaborative environments.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n<section class=\"white no-padding section-space top_grey_separation_sm bottom_grey_separation_sm\">\r\n\t<div class=\"container\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"section-headline mb-4\" id=\"development\">Crowdsourcing \u2013 Development<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t<p>Although Web 2.0 was conducive to set the \u201cknowledge of the crowd\u201d into motion, it was used much earlier. For example, in 1879, when James Murray, the philologist and editor of the Oxford English Dictionary, asked his English-speaking readers to provide references for unusual as well as standard words. This was one of the historical crowdsourcing projects resulting from the desire to create a dictionary of the English language that documented the origins of the words. However, the founders of the Oxford English Dictionary soon realized that the task could not be mastered by single persons and that they would have to recourse to the help of the crowd. The response was overwhelming and resulted in the most extensive and significant English dictionary.<\/p>\r\n\t\r\n\t\t\t\t<p>Today the Internet offers new, improved forms of cooperation with the crowd. The obvious benefit is the speed with which the crowd of users can be activated in the Web. Platforms such as Wikipedia pool the knowledge of all participating users; on WikiLeaks anonymous whistleblowers disclosed secret documents pertaining to public matters, and fans can support their favorite projects on the funding platform, Kickstarter.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n<section class=\"gray section-space\">\r\n\r\n\t<div class=\"container\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"row pb-lg-5\">\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"section-headline mb-4\" id=\"types\">Crowdsourcing Platforms &#8211; Main Types<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-lg-12\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.clickworker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/crowdsourcing-types.png\" width=\"100%\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\talt=\"Types of Crowdsourcing Platforms\">\r\n\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t<h3>Crowdtesting<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clickworker.com\/crowdsourcing-glossary\/crowdtesting\/\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\ttitle=\"Crowdtesting - Term explanation\">Crowdtesting<\/a> is inviting and receiving feedback from a subset of your target audience to identify issues or problems with a product (often apps and websites). This gives you more visibility into how the product is being used and what challenges the audience may be having when interacting with your product (including technical bugs or usability issues with apps and websites).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t<p>The term <a href=\"\/\/www.clickworker.com\/crowdsourcing-glossary\/crowdfunding\/\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\ttitle=\"Crowdfunding - Term explanation\">crowdfunding<\/a> is used when the crowd finances crowdsourcing projects or the development of new products. The crowd can sponsor projects via special platforms; in this case, special emphasis is placed on the non-material aspect. However, crowdfunding is also used as a means of preliminary financing in the United States. A provision is disbursed to the sponsors if the project is successful at the end.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t<p>In engagement and charity the term reveals that the crowd is expected to donate something. However, in this case the focus is on non-profit projects. Money donations are accepted but the organizations are just as happy to receive donations in kind such as food or clothing, as well as the involvement of voluntary helpers for various projects and events.\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t<h3>Collaborative Knowledge<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t<p>The term <a href=\"\/\/www.clickworker.com\/crowdsourcing-glossary\/collective-knowledge\/\">collective knowledge<\/a> describes the collection as well as filtering and organization of knowledge. In so-called group or collective intelligence many users put their knowledge at the disposal of the crowd. Wikipedia is an excellent example of this phenomenon. Likewise, the assessments or decisions of a large pool of different people can deliver equally good results as those of an expert in his field. So-called prognosis platforms make use of this principle.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t<h3>Open Innovation<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clickworker.com\/crowdsourcing-glossary\/open-innovation\/\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\ttitle=\"Open Innovation - Term explanation\">Open Innovation<\/a> is a form of collaboration that aims to bring together diverse stakeholders and build new solutions for problems by expanding the traditional boundaries between business sectors. The most common type of open innovation is between firms and organizations that offer complementary capabilities.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t<p>Open innovation in crowdsourcing is the process of engaging diverse, external people in order to generate new ideas and solutions. Open innovation relies on a team or community approach so that different perspectives and knowledge can be shared.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Companies sometimes outsource their innovation process and strive, with the help of the crowd, to create new product ideas, produce, optimize and market products. This process can also be used to develop problem-solving solutions. High customer satisfaction is guaranteed thanks to the wide range of persons participating.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Creative Crowdsourcing Platforms<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Creative and design crowdsourcing involves soliciting feedback from a large group of people to develop ideas, products or services. Creative crowdsourcing can include anything such as websites, apps, or even video games.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In addition, the creative crowd is also used to create graphic designs such as logos, brochures, advertising material, etc. Companies and private individuals offer creative tasks on numerous platforms; these jobs are more complex and better paid because they demand expert knowledge. As already mentioned before, these can include the creation of websites, banners or logos. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Microtasking<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clickworker.com\/crowdsourcing-glossary\/microtasking-microjobs\/\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\ttitle=\"Microtasking - Term explanation\">Microtasking<\/a> is a type of crowdsourcing where individual tasks are assigned to small groups. Microtaskers can either be individuals or an organization that divides the work amongst its members. Microtasking is often used for tasks that require small individual steps, like writing a blog post or doing research.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clickworker.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Crowdsourcing-Microtasking.gif\" alt=\"Crowdsourcing Microtasking\" class=\"w-100 h-auto rounded size-full mt-4 mb-4\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>When it comes to <a\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.clickworker.com\/crowdsourcing-glossary\/microtasking-microjobs\/\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\ttitle=\"Microtasking - Term explanation\">microjobbing or microtasking<\/a> very small tasks, so-called microtasks, are offered to a large group of Internet users. In most of the cases these microtasks result out of a major project that has been divided into many similar subtasks.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>The crowd is always a good choice whenever companies have to handle a larger number of tasks in a relatively short period of time. The use of the crowd makes a large number of workers available on demand without creating any overhead costs. Therefore, when demand is irregular, a company can make use of the manpower of thousands of workers on a flexible basis.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>It goes without saying that the crowd is best used for tasks that are easily divided into individual microtasks and then reassembled to a convincing overall result after completion. In addition, the task that is being outsourced must not require any profound knowledge of your own product or company. This is essential to ensure that a sufficient number of qualified workers are available to implement the project in a short period of time and provide satisfactory results.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<section class=\"gray section-space\">\r\n\r\n\t<div class=\"container\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"row pb-lg-5\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"col-12\">\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"section-headline mb-4\" id=\"advantages\">Advantages of Crowdsourcing<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t<p>Crowdsourcing, as a model for leveraging the collective intelligence and skills of a distributed group of people, offers a range of advantages across various sectors and applications. This chapter explores the multitude of benefits that organizations, communities, and individuals can reap from embracing the crowdsourcing paradigm.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t<h4>Cost Efficiency<\/h4>\r\n\t\t\t\t<p>One of the primary advantages of crowdsourcing projects is the reduction in costs. Traditional outsourcing or in-house development often requires significant investment in recruitment, training, salaries, and infrastructure. In contrast, crowdsourcing allows for flexible engagement with a vast talent pool, leading to competitive pricing and reduced overheads. The pay-per-task or contribution model minimizes financial outlay while maximizing output.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t<h4>Access to a Diverse Talent Pool<\/h4>\r\n\t\t\t\t<p>Crowdsourcing opens the door to a global workforce with a wide array of skills, expertise, and perspectives. This diversity can inject creativity and innovation into projects that might be limited by the homogeneity of a small, localized team. The variety in thought and approach available through crowdsourcing can lead to more well-rounded and robust solutions.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t<h4>Scalability and Flexibility<\/h4>\r\n\t\t\t\t<p>Projects that utilize crowdsourcing can easily scale up or down based on real-time needs without the logistical challenges of hiring or laying off employees. Whether it\u2019s a startup looking to test a new idea or a large enterprise needing to manage seasonal demand, the crowd offers an elastic workforce that can be tailored to suit fluctuating requirements.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t<h4>Speed and Efficiency<\/h4>\r\n\t\t\t\t<p>Crowdsourcing can significantly expedite processes. Tasks can be distributed among numerous participants, enabling parallel processing and rapid completion. This is particularly advantageous for time-sensitive projects that would otherwise take longer if confined to the working hours and availability of a traditional workforce.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t<h4>Innovation and Creativity<\/h4>\r\n\t\t\t\t<p>With a vast pool of participants, crowdsourcing encourages a breeding ground for innovation. The crowd can provide a wide array of ideas, solutions, and feedback that a company might not generate internally. This is especially beneficial for creative endeavors, problem-solving, and brainstorming sessions.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t<h4>Real-Time Analytics and Feedback<\/h4>\r\n\t\t\t\t<p>Crowdsourcing platforms often provide tools and metrics for real-time analytics, allowing organizations to monitor the progress of tasks and gather feedback instantaneously. This immediate insight can be used to make swift adjustments, ensuring the final outcome is aligned with project goals.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t<h4>Risk Mitigation<\/h4>\r\n\t\t\t\t<p>One of the primary advantages of crowdsourcing is the reduction in costs. Traditional outsourcing or in-house development often requires significant investment in recruitment, training, salaries, and infrastructure. In contrast, crowdsourcing allows for flexible engagement with a vast talent pool, leading to competitive pricing and reduced overheads. The pay-per-task or contribution model minimizes financial outlay while maximizing output.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<section class=\"white no-padding section-space top_grey_separation_sm bottom_grey_separation_sm\">\r\n\t<div class=\"container\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"row pb-lg-5 pt-5\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-lg-6 order-lg-12\">\r\n\r\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"Crowdsourcing on Clickworker.com - How does it work?

Traffic apps rely on the contributions of thousands of \u201ccitizen scientists\u201d who use their smartphones to report road incidents and traffic congestion. This data helps traffic engineers develop better algorithms and make more informed decisions about how best to manage traffic flow. Waze is one of the most popular crowd-powered startups. Users of the app can report traffic congestion, and the app will also suggest the best route to travel.
