<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> [p2pu-webcraft] How can we
acknowledge Webcraft course and studygroup organisers' efforts?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Creating, developing and coordinating study groups and courses
takes a huge amount of effort. School of Webcraft is incredibly grateful for
all those people who stick with their course ideas from conception through to
completion. @e're so happy that you recognise SoW is important and
continue to volunteer your time, knowledge and energy to the
project.<BR><BR>I'd like to be able to best recognise the achievements of
organisers and would like input of the Webcraft community in working out how
we can best thank past organisers, and to continuously recognise future group
organisers.<BR><BR>
<UL>
<LI>Do you want certificates or something physical to hold and show people?
<LI><FONT color=#0000ff>I think a list in some Mozilla website sector ,
categorized by country and/or skill, would be great. Could improve (tutors)
elegibility for a job or a teaching position. Indication of the year of
participation could be a good clue , too.</FONT>
<LI>Would you like to earn badges that recognise your achievements as an
organiser?
<LI><FONT color=#0000ff>Same as previous comment, and "electronic" badge
whose href is the page mentioned is - I think - a practical and almost
no-cost method of recognition.</FONT>
<LI>Would you appreciate letters of reference to future employers that
acknowledge the skills you developed as an organiser, in addition to the
technical knowledge you set out to learn?
<LI><FONT color=#0000ff>No opinion on that. Maybe the kudo´s of the former
students could help, but that (and the course itself) is online at
P2PU, so...</FONT>
<LI>Do you want a thank you letter signed by your participants?<BR><FONT
face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>(mentioned above)</FONT>
<LI>Do you want fame? Would you like to be interviewed and made famous in
the world of Webcraft, P2PU and Mozilla?
<LI><FONT color=#0000ff>Absolutely NO (me)</FONT></LI></UL><BR>In identifying
how we can recognise your achievements I think we can also start a parallel
discussion about motivations for your involvement in P2PU. <BR>
<UL>
<LI>Did you do this to learn more about the topic your course was on?
<LI><FONT color=#0000ff>Yes, indeed.</FONT>
<LI>To meet and help new people?
<LI><FONT color=#0000ff>Yes, I met very interesting and collaborative
pals.</FONT>
<LI>To develop specific skills in online facilitation?
<LI><FONT color=#0000ff>(sorry didn´t get that one)</FONT></LI></UL>I'd love
to hear your feedback about this - it will really help us as we continue to
invite new people into the community. <BR><BR>Pippa<BR>
