Project Challenge Cloud & Crowd: Workshop with crowdworking platforms in Kassel
On Thursday, August 31, 2017, the Department of Information Systems (Prof. Dr. Jan Marco Leimeister) hosted a workshop with representatives of crowdworking platforms as part of the"Cloud and Crowd Challenge" project funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. In addition to a personal exchange with the platform operators, this event focused on the management of complex work systems via crowdworking platforms and the empowerment of crowd workers on such platforms. Managing directors, board members and marketing/PR managers from the crowdworking platforms Content.de (Herford), Crowd Guru (Berlin), Streetspotr (Nuremberg), Testbirds (Munich) and Textbroker (Mainz) gave their views on these and other topics relating to crowdworking platforms. The workshop thus provided interesting and valuable assessments both for research at the Department of Information Systems at the University of Kassel and for further work within the sub-project "Crowdworking Platforms" as part of the BMBF project "Challenge Cloud and Crowd".
