SL CERT Roles

Overview

Roughly speaking there are six roles identifed so far on the SL Certification Project:

SL Cert Roles . Wiki Topic Moderator . Wiki Topic Contributor . Wiki User . Project Opinionator . Education Course Designer and Instructor . Certification Test Designer and Certifier

Wiki Topic Moderator

The Moderator Starts a Page for their Assigned Topic and keeps it Sorted.

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 SL CERT in happy ignorance of the Bending Over Backward Hard Work of the moderators and contributors. But we love them anyway. Plus they may get smart and come to some of us with work. Wait, did I say that?

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 Designer and Instructor (SL SKILLS SCHOOLS)

The Course Designer and Instructor (who already exist in many SL Skills 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 Skills Schools.

Certification Test Designer and Certifier (SL SKILLS CERTIFIERS)

The Certification Test Designer and Certifier (who DO NOT YET EXIST in SL) prepare and give performance based testing to certifiees and give them documentation if they past.

It is expected that SL Residents will become the FIRST Certification Test Designers and Certifiers and that they will likely often also be Education Course Designers and Instructors at first ("wear multiple hats").

It is expected that the SL Cert Project will provide many opportunities for new certifications to be offered by SL Skills Certifiers.
