Crowdsourcing has been described as "The practice of acquiring information or task inputs from a large number of people, can be used to encourage self-instruction through the creation of innovative teaching materials” (Wilson, n.d., para. 1). Essentially the entire completed task or goal is greater than the sum of it individual parts. I think this a wonderful tool for disposal because I believe it does increase student participation and overall synthetization of learning. It makes me think of a quilt for instance whereby many individuals may add a specific part to the quilt thereby adding to the overall completion of the entire quilt. This is just one example, but this technique can be very effective when dealing with the learning environment. Having students play a direct role in the learning process will lead to more desired outcomes. I could see this particular technique used within the business setting as well, with regards to many different employees contributing to the overall finish project, whether it be a budget or draft proposal. It also allows for information to be sharded and serves for overall better communication as well.
