More and more academic researching is using this form.

1. How would crowdsourcing be useful in educational setting?

I think that by having the outside sources helping the educational system improve varies activities or programs. To get the outside source to give ideas of what can improve or not improve. Plus it is not a bias opinion if someone outside educational setting. The person would not have an advantage of being negative to one program to another.
