Training Crowd Workers (Crowdsourcing Complex Engineering Tasks)

The tasks given to crowd workers in this experiment were more complex than regular crowdsourcing tasks, as the workers had to read tutorials and undergo training before they completed the tasks. These tasks consisted of evaluating and analyzing the results of wind simulations. They were instructed to filter out the bad simulation results so that the expert engineers would have more time to work with the good simulation results. The objective was to determine the effectiveness of training the crowd workers in order to produce accurate results. After training, the workers were able to perform the tasks with ample accuracy that benefitted the expert labor.
