Greetings WikiEducators In the new year WikiEducator will commence with what we believe to be the largest, coordinated international training initiative in Mediawiki editing skills in the history of our planet. This will be made possible due to a generous funding grant from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation under WikiEducator's Learning4Content initiative. See our bid proposal here:
http://www.wikieducator.org/Metawikieducator/Learning4Content/Hewlett_bid In preparation for our capacity building under the Learning4Content project, User:Helena and I have been working on a skills typology designed to acknowledge WikiEducator achievements and to earn community kudos. See: http://www.wikieducator.org/WikiMaster This is work in progress, and we would appreciate feedback from the community on the skills typology and suggestions on how we can promote the concept. We have identified 6 levels in the typology corresponding with specified skills. Questions to consider: * Is this a reasonable classification of the skills and levels required? * Do we need a system to recognise and acknowledge different skills levels within our community? * How do we "certify" different levels? Do we work on a web-of-trust model (we can always validate based on the wiki history)? or do should we require certification from a trusted member of the community (e.g. someone who has legitimately attained a higher level.)? You will see that we have not developed the levels of: * WikiTrainer and * WikiMaster Any ideas for the specified outputs for these levels are most welcome. Chat to you soon.
