SL Certification Roles
Summary
There are several roles identified so far in the SL Certification Project:
- Wiki Topic Moderator
- Wiki Topic Contributor
- Wiki User
- Project Opinionator
- Education Course Designer
- Instructor
- Certification Test Designer
- Certifier
Roles
Wiki Topic Moderator
The Moderator Starts a Page for their Assigned Topic and keeps it Sorted (organized for accuracy, clarity and usability).
This is a Thankless Task but Highly Satisfying. The moderators work with Hunter Benazzi, Sitearm Madonna, and Glenn Linden, AND the Contributors, and keep the pages sorted in usable overall order and content. Moderator efforts will be criticized by Opinionators (see below) either deliberately or inadvertantly. However, Moderators are paid ten times as much as Contributors (ten times nothing).
Wiki Topic Contributor
The Contributor Adds Useful Material to any Topic Page they want, with the Understanding that the Moderator will keep sorting it over time. This is a thankless task but... oh nm see above. Contributors are paid ten times as much as Opinionators.
Wiki User
The User says, "Thank goodness for this material I can use it, or ideas I get from it, imMEdiately in my school / business / self education program etc." and then dOEs use it. Blessed are the Users for they shall Benefit from the SL Certification Project in happy Ignorance of the Bending Over Backward Hard Work of the moderators and contributors. But we love them anyway.
Project Opinionator
We are aLL Opinionators at the start. It is the Default Role.
GOOD Opinionators:
- Add specific suggestions on the Discussion sections of Topic Pages. (Every wiki content page has a parallel discussion page to put comments on)
- Say supportive things like, "I like that, that's great!"
- Are listened to more and more as their merit becomes evident
BAD Opinionators:
- Say things like, "I don't like that, that's Wrong!", without offering specific solutions.
- Are listened to or ignored by others as needed.
Education Course Course Designers and Instructors (SL SCHOOLS)
The Course Designer and Instructor (who already exist in many SL Schools) prepare and teach courses either Instructor- or Hud-Led to impart skills to trainees.
It is expected that the SL Cert Project will provide many opportunities for new courses to be offered by SL Schools.
Certification Test Designer (SL CERTIFICATION DEVELOPERS)
The Certification Test Designer prepares tests to be used to certifiy candidates.
Experienced SL residents are the FIRST Certification Test Designers, representing a broad cross-section of education course designers, instructors, planners, specialists, and developers.
It is expected that the SL Cert Project will provide many opportunities for new certification tests to be developed by SL Certification Developers.
Certifier (SL CERTIFIERS)
The Certifier (who DOES NOT YET EXIST in SL) gives tests to certifiee candidates, and gives them appropriate documentation if they past.
A third party certification company will become the FIRST Certifier.
It is expected that the SL Cert Project will provide many opportunities for new certifications to be offered by SL Certifiers.
Issues
The following questions are in discussion by the SL CERT team:
- Will there be a fee to take a certification test
- Will tests be written, performance, other
