This one-day workshop, in the context of Academic Mindtrek 2016, brings academics and practitioners together for collaboration and co-creation of novel and relevant knowledge. In one setting, participants have the opportunity to receive feedback from fellow academics and practitioners in the workshop’s morning session. The afternoon session goes one step further by allowing the reciprocal benefits of bringing these two groups together to foster a robust examination of current issues related to crowdsourcing through real-world topics raised by practitioners.
