Crowd Work and Collective Learning
Year: 2013
Type: preprint
Abstract: The process of assembling crowds to perform tasks constitutes a new form of work practice. The current practice forms a basis for future instructional and organisational design activity, providing opportunities for improvement in both individual and collective learning. In particular, feedback systems – from other crowd workers, from experts, and from computers – play a role in improving individual learning and performance. More generally, standardisation in this emerging industry may increase the portability of skills and create career ladders, important to both workers and employers.
