ABSTRACT
Understanding macro-tasking in crowdsourcing is a focus of this chapter, and its focus on coordination challenges is intended to further our knowledge of the topic. The chapter discusses the concepts of transactive memory systems, stigmaria coordination, coordination theory, relational coordination, role-based coordination, and an integrative model of coordination. It illustrates the practical applications and benefits of federated learning. Plans for completing tasks based on coordination theory provide not only the direction workers need but also act as a means of communication that helps everyone in the crowd be on the same page. As the model improves, it becomes increasingly capable of addressing the complex macro-tasks that are the focus of the crowd coordination effort. Disruption to the workplace caused by their unfamiliarity with traces can be minimized by clearly outlining their responsibilities. Design hypotheses should be derived from design propositions and then tested empirically.
