News
Here is our current note taker roster:
Looking for feedback
- @cnormandigital : suggests implementing a review process for the creation of module quizzes and activities.
- @west7: Currently, we don’t have a formal review process, but we do test quizzes and review activities internally. While this shouldn’t be a blocker, content creators can request a review if they’re uncertain about any aspect. https://make.wordpress.org/training/handbook/lessons/creating-lesson-module-quizzes-activities/
- @west7: In the past, we’ve created quizzes and activities after completing the course or learning pathway. While I agree we shouldn’t introduce a new workflow in GitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged be the repository owner. https://github.com/, it’s easier to review quizzes and activities once they’re built in Sensei. Additionally, creating them after completing a module or course helps provide a clearer overall perspective.
- @cnormandigital: Keep in mind that evaluations will include hands-on activities using Playground and Blueprints. With these added components, I believe a review process is important, and having separate GitHub issues to track the evaluation activities would be helpful.
