As the Internet grows in importance, it is vital to develop methods and techniques for educating end-users to improve their awareness of online privacy. However, the development of Web-based education tools for online privacy is still in the early stage. Traditional solutions involving professionals can make the tool development costly. It is also not clear how motivating, inspiring, and/or effective these education tools are to general users, especially novice users who have rarely dealt with privacy issues. Through interdisciplinary research between a computer scientist and two social scientists, this project aims to exploit both group-sourcing and crowdsourcing approaches to develop effective education tools for online privacy. Research activities include: (1) designing novel methods to generate collective wisdom from non-expert user groups for the development of innovative ideas of privacy education tools; (2) investigating the main characteristics of a wise group that is capable of developing creative and high-quality ideas for privacy training; (3) developing methods to enhance the originality and practicality of the ideas generated by the non-expert groups; and (4) integrating group-sourcing, crowdsourcing, and experts' opinions to evaluate the effectiveness of the developed privacy training tools.This interdisciplinary, high-risk, high-payoff project will dramatically advance research in security/privacy and social science. The research results will be disseminated broadly through curricular materials appropriate for computer science, College of Arts and Letters, and MBA students.

随着互联网重要性的增长，至关重要的是开发教育最终用户提高其在线隐私意识的方法和技术。然而，基于网络的在线隐私教育工具的开发仍处于早期阶段。 涉及专业人员的传统解决方案可能会使工具开发成本高昂。目前还不清楚这些教育工具对普通用户，特别是很少处理隐私问题的新手用户的激励，启发和/或有效性。 通过计算机科学家和两名社会科学家之间的跨学科研究，该项目旨在利用群体外包和众包方法来开发有效的在线隐私教育工具。研究活动包括：（1）设计新颖的方法，让非专业使用者群体集思广益，以发展创新的私隐教育工具;（2）研究有能力发展创新及高质素私隐培训意念的智慧群体的主要特征;（3）发展方法，以加强非专业群体所产生的意念的原创性及实用性;（4）整合群组外包、众包和专家意见，评估开发的隐私培训工具的有效性。这个跨学科、高风险、高回报的项目将极大地推动安全/隐私和社会科学的研究。研究结果将通过适合计算机科学，文学艺术学院和MBA学生的课程材料广泛传播。
