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).

Roles

Wiki Topic Moderator

The Moderator starts a page for their assigned topic and keeps it sorted (organized for accuracy, clarity and usability).

The moderators work with Hunter Benazzi, Sitearm Madonna, Contributors, and Glenn Linden to keep the pages sorted in usable overall order and content.

Wiki Topic Contributor

The Contributor adds useful material to any topic page for which they have releveant knowledge, with the understanding that the moderator will keep sorting it over time.

Wiki User

The User reads topic pages for content and ideas to benefit their school, business, self education program or other activity.

Project Opinionator

Opinionators (people who give opinions but no content) are 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)

It is expected that the SL Cert Project will provide many opportunities for new courses to be offered by SL Schools.

Experienced SL residents are the FIRST Certification Test Designers, representing a broad cross-section of education course designers, instructors, planners, specialists, and 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.

  • Will there be a fee to take a certification test
  • Will tests be written, performance, other
