Collaboratively Crowdsourcing Workflows with Turkomatic | Follow the Crowd

Via Scoop.it - TeacherWorkflow

I know just enough about what they are talking about to know that it sends an interesting tingle down my spine.  I am thinking about how someting like this might be used in an eDCamp, unconference, or as the opening to Project Based Learnings. This is the part that got my juices going:    “A central challenge in crowd computing is the workflow design problem: 1 how can we divide a complex job — for instance, editing a paper or writing a computer program — into a sequence of microtasks that can be solved by a pool of crowd workers on the web? Effective workflow design is a difficult process, requiring careful task design, extensive software development, and iterated testing with a live crowd.”
