Abstract

Crowdsourcing systems leverage short bursts of focused attention from many contributors to achieve a goal. By requiring people's full attention, existing crowdsourcing systems fail to leverage people's cognitive surplus in the many settings for which they may be distracted, performing or waiting to perform another task, or barely paying attention. In this paper, we study opportunities for loweffort crowdsourcing that enable people to contribute to problem solving in such settings. We discuss the design space for low-effort crowdsourcing, and through a series of prototypes, demonstrate interaction techniques, mechanisms, and emerging principles for enabling low-effort crowdsourcing.
