CROWDSOURCINGCrowdsourcing is the process of getting work or funding, usually online, from a crowd of people.
Crowdsourcing is the act of taking a job traditionally performed by a designated agent (usually an employee) and
outsourcing it to an un- defined, generally large group of people in the form of an open call.

Issues and Challenges
18
Issues- McGill University currently does not want to invest a significant amount of money in IT because doesn’t constitute determining factor in choosing university
Challenges- main challenge currently = develop an app & improve MyCourses for the best with minimal cost and involvement- testing app on Desautels students and hoping for adoption by all students across university
Risks if not adopted- complaints from students; decreases reputation- more complex for students to connect- redundancy of tasks performed by professors- less efficiency overall
