Term Paper: Crowdsourcing
Due Week 10 and worth 200 points

Crowdsourcing in the field of interface design takes tasks traditionally
performed by specific individuals and spreads them out among a group of people
or a community. These assignments are usually done through an open call.
Crowdsourcing has become increasingly popular with the growth of Web 2.0 and
online communities.

Write a fifteen to eighteen (15-18) page paper in which you:

  1. Examine the invention and growth of crowdsourcing in the field of interface
    design.
  2. Describe the impact that crowdsourcing has had on the field of interface
    design.
  3. Analyze and discuss at least three (3) benefits of incorporating
    crowdsourcing in a design project.
  4. Analyze and discuss at least three (3) challenges of incorporating
    crowdsourcing in a design project.
  5. Propose a solution for generating interest in your design project from an
    online community.
  6. Suggest a solution for evaluating the skill set and quality of the code
    submitted by potentially unknown users.
  7. Describe how crowdsourcing may affect the budget and timeline of a design
    project.
  8. Assess crowdsourcing in regard to the legal, societal, and ethical issues it
    raises, and suggest methods to alleviate these concerns.
  9. Use at least five (5) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia
