[Bf-education] Bf-education Digest, Vol 91, Issue 2

Hi all,
I think the issue is to offer an insured skills level trainer certification that suits educational, industrial and / or fine arts needs and expectations. BFCT or Mozilla Badges?, the badges have the advantage of highlighting industry specific skill sets. BFCT is strictly speaking a non-specific, or basic trainer in skill development in 3D certificate. I am working towards BFCT accreditation and tend to think trainers need certification for specific industries.

> Many schools and companies, at least in Sweden, find Blender a bit scary. Many of them do not doubt Blenders capabilities but they find it difficult to find people who know the software. So I think any system that will show that "this person has knowledge in Blender" is a very, very good thing.

> Hi,
>     This looks very interesting to me. 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?   John caldwell
