The red team and the blue team. Plantilla:FA

The WikiEducator initiative is a family comprising many self-organising teams. There are a wide variety of roles in the community and you are invited to join a team(s) or even start a new one.

Building on best practice in the development of distance education materials, WikiEducator adopts a team approach. The design and development of quality materials requires the inputs from a range of skilled people including, for example: subject matter experts, learning designers, multimedia and language professionals.

This page introduces the range of roles to assist you in choosing where your own interests and experience can help WikiEducator in its mission to widening access to high quality, free content for education.

This is You!! - the end-user of WikiEducator learning materials. We welcome your input and feedback on the appropriateness of learning materials.

Voluntario

If you are thinking about helping out on a project (which of course we strongly encourage) it is sometimes helpful to yourself and the project team that you describe the level of commitment you intend on making to the project. This becomes particularly useful when a project is starting and a request for volunteers goes out. By giving some heartfelt thought to your level of commitment will set the expectations for all the project team members. We suggest three types of volunteers;

  • Colaborador - someone who is active in moving the project forward
  • Revisor - someone who watches and reads the project and occassionally adds suggestions, makes comments, etc...
  • Aprobador - someone who has credability in the projects subject area who endorses the project deliverables

Remember WikiEducator has many projects, so you may be a contributor in one project while a reviewer in another and due to an expertise an approver for another.
