Title
Portalis: using competitive online interactions to support aid initiatives for the homeless
Abstract
We designed a web-based system with game-like properties that utilizes crowdsourcing to facilitate the beneficial transfer-of-knowledge to case managers (CMs) working with the homeless. This has two significant impacts: First, Portalis allows CMs to make informed decisions in managing client cases. Second, it enables individuals who would like to volunteer their services but are limited by time constraints to contribute.
