Talk on Crowdsourcing


Designing with Online Crowds
Dr. Brian Bailey

Monday, April 18
1:15 - 2:15pm
IST Cybertorium (room 113)

Abstract
Feedback is critical for design innovation processes but receiving effective feedback can be surprisingly hard. In this talk, I will describe the design and implementation of a new genre of crowd-based technology that enables designers to receive personalized, timely, and affordable feedback for in-progress visual designs. I will also present results from two studies that tackle fundamental questions about the quality, use cases, and interpretation of crowd-based design feedback.
