CIS50 Crowdsourcing Week
Here’s a summary of the key points from the transcript:
1. Zoom Chats Coordination (00:01-02:17)
Students need to sign up for one of three Zoom chat sessions via Discord using Apollo bot.
There are 12 spots per session, with a preference for keeping it to 10 students.
2. Crowdsourcing Ethical Topics (02:17-03:59)
Students previously crowdsourced ethical issues related to technology and must now refine and summarize them into key topics.
They should aim to identify redundant ideas and consolidate them into groups of related topics.
3. Document Collaboration (04:40-06:48)
Each group has a shared document to organize their findings.
Students are to insert brief descriptions and clean links into the provided table for their group's ethical issues.
4. Group Agreement on Big Topics (06:48-12:28)
The goal is for each group to agree on three major ethical issues to represent their collective research.
Students can use AI tools like ChatGPT to help organize ideas but are encouraged to double-check the results manually.
5. Reflection and Final Assignment (14:44-16:09)
The final reflection involves evaluating both the ethical topics and the teamwork experience in a distributed work environment.
The reflection should cover what worked, what didn’t, and how the process could be improved.
