Crowdsourcing contributes scale and intellectual diversity. It replaces a broken model of generalizations based on one or two observers. Sometimes success is measured in the breadth of insights. Other times it is about getting the crowd mostly on the same page. Going back in time, I would always use more people. One challenge is knowing when more is not helping. The biggest challenge is performance. What is the gap between the best and worst in a crowd? How quickly can you identify a gold standard set? Is speed better than quality, or vice versa? What is undertraining? What is overtraining? How do you foster constrained creativity?

Hi listers,
The European Journalism Centre is crowdsourcing advice on crowdsourcing.
If you've worked on a crowdsourcing project, be it for research, journalism, or something else, we would love to hear about your experience.
We're particularly interested in the answers to the following questions:
- how did your approach towards crowdsourcing contribute to the project's success? - If you could go back in time and do something differently, what would it be? - if you faced any challenges, specifically in relation to crowdsourcing, what were these and how did you overcome them?
Thanks!
Madolyn
