How To — Crowdsource

Crowdsourcing is the act of outsourcing tasks that were traditionally performed by an individual to a large group of people or community (the "crowd"). Calling on the public for assistance can help generate new ideas and make performing tasks and creating content more efficient. Wikipedia, the open-source encyclopedia, is one of the best examples of crowdsourcing. Any user can write and edit entries on the site.

The Movements.org how-to guides identify best practices for the use of digital technologies for social change.
