Thread:Suggestion in line with the Google Discussion (2)

Hi Randy,

Yes I do think that there are distinctive phases or degrees of completion. I suspect that these will correspond with the generic phases of the learning design process, for example:


 * 1) Design plan or blueprint for development completed, which could include, for example:
 * 2) * a Brief analysis of the intended target audience
 * 3) * Teaching objectives specified
 * 4) * Planned structure of the resource completed
 * 5) * ContentInfobox inserted on the main page
 * 6) * Request or invitation for feedback on the resource posted
 * 7) Resource completed and ready for QA review
 * 8) * All content completed in accordance with the design plan above (Content Design)
 * 9) * Navigation templates inserted (Visual Design)
 * 10) * Images, figures and graphs uploaded (Visual Design)
 * 11) * Editorial comments and suggestions from the community incorporated into the resource
 * 12) QA review completed
 * 13) * Content validity / reliability reviewed
 * 14) * Educational Design (i.e. Visual elements, pedagogy etc reviewed)

This is just a tentative example / suggestion to show how we could link generic phases with concrete outputs.

I agree --- the pride in completing a resource (or requesting certification for wiki skills attained) is a powerful motivator and also a vehicle for individuals to be recognized in the community.

Appreciate the inputs ... thanks!
