Study 1 (Communicating Context to the Crowd for Complex Writing Tasks)

Method: create 66 mediocre initial paragraphs on a fixed number of topics as starting points. We then applied each of the five mechanisms to the paragraphs to collect additional context on how to make the text closer to the requester’s intentions.
Design Implication 1: Structured communication mechanisms with the crowd are most effective when the content quality is low or average. When content quality is high, limited communication can be counter-productive.
Different structured communication mechanisms had different effects on the paragraphs; the initial quality was important in determining the effect.
Design Implication 2: Different structured communication mechanisms are effective at different stages. Early on, when content quality is poor, the requester needs to communicate major issues. Later, for average quality content, the different mechanisms have relatively similar added value.
