Crowdsourcing Education : A Collaborative Knowledge Management Approach

Introduction Web 2.0 and 3.0 technologies are transforming the landscape of learning. These technologies enable learners and pedagogues to co-produce learning environments that adapt to the competencies and motivations of each participant. Building these systems online, in the open, we can make use of both high-intensity, high-cost contributions, and a long tail of smaller and less intensive contributions. The process of assimilating many small contributions into resources of high quality – colloquially known as “crowdsourcing” – is becoming a key aspect of the development of open online learning platforms. In more formal terms, the challenge inherent to such efforts is capture the surplus value of distributed processes of social engagement in a way that permits reuse and further development.
