Track: Virtual Communities and Collaboration
Minitrack: Crowdsourcing for Societal Advancement


*DESCRIPTION*

Crowdsourcing and collaboration through digital platforms afford large groups of people to contribute to an overarching goal, usually via virtual communities. Today anyone in the world with basic knowledge or resources has work opportunities afforded by digital platforms which link buyers and sponsors with a crowd or community. Though new innovations in these spaces are unveiling regularly, we have only just begun to realize their potential benefits. Inspired by the conference theme of “A Vision for the Future”, this minitrack aims to investigate the high-impact potential of crowdsourcing, the gig-economy, the sharing economy and virtual communities for people, organizations, and societal advancement.
