What is crowdsourcing and why use it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crowdsourcing involves obtaining work, information or opinions from a large group of people who submit their data via the Internet, social media and smartphone applications https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/c\/crowdsourcing.asp.<\/a> The term was coined in 2006 when Wired editors Jeff Howe and Mark Robinson used it to describe the use of the Internet to generate and connect ideas https:\/\/www.wired.com\/2006\/06\/crowds\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All information related to the platform is posted on Epale https:\/\/epale.ec.europa.eu\/pl\/user\/208531<\/a> and on Linkedin https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/zbigniew-d%C4%85browski-378bb5159\/<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Crowdsourcing is based on four basic concepts:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

– acquiring knowledge by solving problems,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– creating new content (as in the case of Wikipedia),<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– voting<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– crowdfunding, i.e. collecting funds through small contributions from a large number of people<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What is crowdsourcing for?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Crowdsourcing allows you to come up with new, creative ideas that may not be possible within traditional organizational frameworks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Using the knowledge and experience of people from different backgrounds and regions allows for more comprehensive and innovative solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– With crowdsourcing, results can be achieved at lower costs because a wide range of volunteers or external experts are involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
