*DESCRIPTION*
Crowdsourcing and collaboration through digital platforms afford large groups of people to contribute to an overarching goal, usually via virtual communities. Today anyone in the world with basic knowledge or resources has work opportunities afforded by digital platforms which link buyers and sponsors with a crowd or community. Though new innovations in these spaces are unveiling regularly, we have only just begun to realize their potential benefits.
