- PS: I think these might be too many options and end up confuse the user. As a user, I don't want this be a burden, but it should be super obvious (like the +1 or Like feature in G+ and FB). I've added +1 for the ones I like best. [CV: what is the parallel here? how is +1 a peer assessment? I just used it to indicate which of the badges I like. Ooo @.@]
- PS: A more conceptual comment. I like the way that del.icio.us turned selfish action (I book-mark because want to remember this link) into something that had meaning within the community. If users "bookmark" or "star" posts by other users, that might be a more meaningful measure of how much they really like that post (rather than asking them to say they like it by giving a badge). The badge could then be automated - if you get 5 +1 clicks, you get the badge. [CV: I like this idea, should check how easy it is to do]
- comments for Team Player Badge
- I feel like there's some overlap between Team Player/Helpful Feedback.If you're giving Helpful Feeback, that's being a Team Player, yes?
- Agree that there is some overlap, but also differences. For me a team player (maybe "community builder") is the person that makes sure everyone is ok, calms tempers when necessary, etc.
- Yes -Vanessa these badges both exist in the current pilot and to become a team player you have to own the helpful feedback badge. I think it is ok for them to be similar as long as they are somehow connected. Maybe we could make them become a bit more distinct, I was thinking that team player really appeals when you are having a team assignment.
- comments about Nice Share Badge
- [Really like this. Is there some overlap between Nice Share and Social Legend? Isn't contributing relevant and interesting material the skill measured in both?]
- [PS: Could only give the option to award this badge in the context of comments/posts that contain a hyperlink]
- [CV: Nice Share is about hsaring links, Social Legelnd is about being an active user. / yes PS]
- comments for Wave Badge
- PS[I like the idea of encouraging users to start contacting each other - but not sure this is a "badge" ... if 30 users "waved" at me, would I have 30 badges? or just one? Not sure how this would work. ]
- CV[ PS, all these badges work the same way which is to say they are accumulative, optionally they could result in levels]
- Vanessa [Other suggestions: Howdy. Well Hello There! or P2PU-gram]
- for general p2pu badges stealth badges could be really powerful
- for giving badges to users active on the site (comments, visiting the site consistently, ....) - absolutely, these are to replace/upgrade the ones we currently have as blue ones.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////draft under this line //////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Badges awarded by the system (based on activity) /// still working on this
These are awarded directly through the system based on activity metrics such as comments + time tracked.
Firestarter
Ignites conversation.
Fast and Furious (not tracking/ should be able to mark comment as "question" to track)
Measures how fast someone responds to questions
The Answering Machine (not tracking)
Measures how many questions one answers, recognizes momentum, encourages re-engagement.
[I love "You're an answering MACHINE"--should this be in lumps of 10?]
[PS: Great name, great badge and makes sense to have levels. Names are important.]
Along with "rescue badge"--What about badge for asking a question/admitting that you're stuck? This seems like a crucial point in open learning--admitting openly when you don't get it. Badge could be like "911" or something to that effect.
Newbie badge. First post.
///////Some ideas about themes for types of badges//////
Badges that are automatic--
1. Things that people don't want to apply for, skills that are implicit (and culturally valued, like altriusm) but people feel weird about outwardly asking for & sharing to their friends. Skills like sharing, that involve giving.
2. Badges that build momentum, like recognizing first post, and your Answering Machine badge.
Badges a user asks for--skills that reward personal achievement
- accurately completing project alone or completing project with team
Badges peer awarded
- Recognition for prompting "convergence," weaving together comments, or pushing the conversation deeper/forward.
