If Badges for wiki concepts were offered<br>> then it reduces the perceived quality of the earned badges. And who would<br>> verify the gaining of these wiki concepts?<br>> I'd know that as a group we could put together a series of questions that<br>> could test someone's knowledge. An online test could do it, but what is<br>> stopping the learner from just learning the answers?<br>> I have personally found as a professional educator in Australia that simple<br>> test questions (e.i. true/ false, multiple choice, and badly worded short<br>> answer) do not truly check the knowledge learned. However, the other end of<br>> the spectrum (ie long answer questions, observed project work) require the<br>> presence of someone who knows.<br>> What if the wiki changes because of a shift in version? Is the badge only<br>> valid for that version or a how run of versions, such as the 2.6x?<br>> <br>> A simple thing, like the the Bevel tool (Crtl + B), it showed up in a<br>> youtube demo I was watching, but not in the version I was using, after some<br>> checking I found it was in the experimental version. In the next version it<br>> worked differently to the demo, so I had to adapt. It settled down later to<br>> match what I had seen. I hope this example shows the dynamic nature of Open<br>> Source Software development and how we are trying to create an easy path<br>> into this software over the slowly shifting sands of a great desert of<br>> knowledge. I see my role as linking critical concepts (an oasis) with good<br>> practise (paths & trails) to complete a complex project (a journey from one<br>> side to the other).<br>> <br>> Sorry if my responses are scattered, but it's been along day.<br>> Regards,<br>> J.

I can see how this might work well with Facebook and linkedIn. I would like to have help building a specific proficiency test in Blender for High School students. I would like to approach the state of Florida with this test for their state certifications. I can put together a simple multiple choice test of basic questions, problem is, I need to create a simulation test which looks like the blender interface that a person can navigate in and select the right set of responses that can be recorded as part of a total grade-that being 50% multiple choice and 50% simulation questions. Any idea on how, where, who I could get help from?
