Toward a typology of participation in crowdwork

Using individual skills to perform simples tasks that are centrally managed. The task is simple and repetitive. The people doing the task are single-user. The execution of the task is non-interactive. The task does not require expertise. 

Primitive Task

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.
