What is an ambassador for WikiEducator?
Ambassadors for WikiEducator assist in the realisation of our strategy by promoting activities which:
- help build the WikiEducator community,
- develop skills and build capacity for all WikiEducators,
- promote and advocate free educational content, and
- identify and implement innovation in WikiEducator.
Ambassadors are people who have a passion to widen access to quality education through open networks and free content. They identify themselves in the WikiEducator community and keep us informed of their ambassadorial activities.

Levels of ambassadorship
Like most things in life, we all get better with experience, so you don't need to be a guru with wiki technology to become a WikiAmbassador. With due acknowledgement to the FLOSS4Edu Pacific Regional Workshop, WikiEducator recognises the following levels of ambassadorship:
- Level 1: Explaining to colleagues and friends what WikiEducator is and sharing things you've learned about the project;
- Level 2: Being able to demonstrate the WikiEducator website to colleagues and friends, in your office, meeting or group presentation;
- Level 3: Being able to talk about WikiEducator, demonstrate the wiki and then teach someone else how to use WikiEducator and contribute to the project.
