It is a collaborative model that uses different technologies to connect thpe “crowd” involved in the problem solving. This model was originally developed as an innovative business model, however, it later found its use in various fields including education. The aim of this paper is to determine which models of crowdsourcing can be used in education and which models are suitable for higher education. In addition, the aim is to determine the benefits of applying the crowdsourcing models in higher education for all participants in this process.
