Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Crowdsourcing involves outsourcing tasks to a large, undefined group of people or community (a "crowd") through an open call, rather than having those tasks completed by a designated employee or contractor. This approach leverages the collective intelligence, skills, and expertise of the crowd to solve problems, generate ideas, or accomplish tasks.
