Crowdsourcing

Crowdsourcing is a sourcing model in which individuals or organizations use contributions from internet users to obtain needed services or ideas. This can include asking for input on social media, using platforms to gather information, outsourcing tasks through an open call, or crowdfunding. Crowdsourcing leverages the mass collaboration enabled by the internet to achieve goals, solve problems, or gather information and ideas, often at a lower cost and in less time than traditional methods.
