| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We conducted research on fundamental technology for accessible task generation and assignment in crowdsourcing for people with visual and hearing disabilities. The following results were obtained. (1) We obtained knowledge about the appropriate design of microtasks for visually and hearing impaired workers. (2) From the perspective of social inclusion, we developed a method to assign a wide range of workers with various abilities to tasks. We found that it is possible for many people to be involved in work without significantly sacrificing productivity and throughput. (3) We developed a method to improve the quality by integrating the task results performed by the hearing impaired people. (4) For guaranteeing information accessibility in watching sports, we have developed a tool that allows everyone to enter and share the information necessary to enjoy watching a game.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
現在のクラウドソーシングにおける「クラウド」は，一般に健常者の集まりを想定している．しかし，タスクの設計や割当てを上手く制御することが出来れば，視聴覚障害者などの従来は「助けられる側」とされていた人々にも広く仕事を依頼することによって，彼らを「誰かを助ける側」にするような新たな社会参加のアプローチとしてクラウドソーシングを利用する事が可能であり，様々な制約によって「助ける側」「助けられる側」に分けざるを得なかったこれまでの社会構造を変えうる可能性がある．
