Toward a typology of participation in crowdwork

Primitive Task

The fragmenting of problems into modules in a way that facilitates easy reconsolidating of solutions.  

Task Modularization

Today, microtasking practices that utilize digital workers on a massive level are embedded into crowdsourcing as a way to deal with emergency circumstances. To better utilize this practice, there needs to be better management to optimize the effectiveness of this mass labor. Also, there needs to be more attention on individual different and goals in relation to microtasking.
