I do not think it was a very successful collective activity in terms of crowd sourcing unless we had a excellent group of editors. The benefits of crowd sourcing is that it is efficient and powerful due to the men power. Yet, if there isn’t a system that can keep everyone in check, it became a confusing and tiring process. During the lab activity, there are people who were willing to step up and take the leadership role. However, due to the fact that the leaders might have little experiences in leading a class-size group of students, it got rather difficult when the situation demanded them to suddenly jump into such active role. Also, there were people who participated in this activity were not as committed as the others, it was easy for people to be discouraged and cause the quality of the project to decrease. Eventually, everyone was able to submit their own post, yet, because the posts were all edited by students, the quality might be not as good. Although, the synchronization of the context was hard to achieve, it was nice to have a mixed of all kinds of style and form, as well as a blend of content and opinions. With point forms, paragraphs, summaries, pictures, graphics, charts, tables made the pages rich and colourful, and with the different styles of writing also kept the reading light and lively. If I were to produce this research project all myself, I believe it would be quite boring. This is because I am one person, which means I cannot represent everybody. It is almost impossible to reach a point where a person can voice out opinions that held by more than ten different people. Therefore, the research project would be only supporting my point of views, which could possibly be biased sometimes. Same with the depth and content of the project, it would not be as well developed as producing with a group of people due to time limit and men power.
