tBrainstorming space for terms at P2PU, current usage in bold.
Add your ideas, nothing can be wrong here.
Goal: Select consistent nouns and verbs for all the things at P2PU
1. User - What you become when you join P2PU.
- Noun
- 4 Peer +1+1+1 +1+1
- 2 User +1+1
- 1 Learner+1
- Member
- ("...of the P2PU Community." Also, aligns with "join")
- Folk :)
- Verb
- 2 Register +1+1
- 5 Join +1+1 +1 +1+1 -suggests membership, which is social (you "join" a community = become part of a larger thing)
- Sign Up
- Enroll
2. Content - The base content that people discover at P2PU (via the Learn page)
- Noun
- 1 Challenge +1 (its innovative, its playful, makes me want to take the "challenge", it implies there is a goal + a solution)
- 6 Course +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 (not because it's innovative, but because it's THE default word people use <- This point is super important. Right now, everytime I say "challenge" I have to explain that it's just like a course anyway) +1 (for this and "group" becuase they are nouns within which other noun types can be nested
- 2 Group+1+1
- 1 Lesson +1
- 1 Course Materials +1
- Project
- Learning module
- Learning space
- Mission
- Session
- Unit (although reminds me Moon Unit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_Zappa)
- Verb
- Launch
- 1 Design +1
- 5 Create +1 +1 +1+1+1
- Build
3. Collection - Ordered grouping of content (see "2")
- Noun
- List
- Set +1+1+1
- -1 if "ordered" is important, then the technical definition of a set is an UN-ordered group of items (jessy)
- alternative could be "sequence" (which is an ordered set :)), but is a slightly loaded term from the educational angle?
- Playlist +1
- Challengeplaylist +1
- Stack
- Library
- Catalogue
- Course
- Course Content +1
- "Learning Path" or "Path"
- (I think "library" could be all the whole, unordered group of challenges at P2PU; "catalogue" could be a search result from that library (still unordered group, but subset of related content); and "playlist" or just "list" could be a specific, curated, ordered group of content)
- None of these really work for me, becuase I don't feel that they are education/learning centred enough. "syllabus" is a horrible word, as is "index" but I feel like they are a bit closer to keeping the vocab appropriate. If we use "curate" or "collect" then "collection" might be the more appropriate noun.
- I'm not certain how this word would be used either.
- Verb
- Create
- Collect +1+1+1
- Curate +1+1+1 (What does this mean?)
- Organize +1
- Add to Curriculum
- Add to Set / Path / Favorites
- Save
- Bookmark
4. Group - People who work on content (see "2") together.
- Noun
- Course / Study Group / Challenge - we're splitting this messy set of terms into "content (2)" and "group (4)"
- Even though there are two aspects, I am not sure we need two nouns. For most people it makes perfect sense that you would first "create" a course, and then "open" it for sign-up. The general association with the term "course" is learning something - and typically doing so in a group of students. It sound a little funny that I would be taking a "course" with a "team". If we need two - then I would suggest Study Group as an additional choice.
- Group
- Cohort+1
- Team+1 +1 +1+1+1+1+1+1 +1+1
- Class
- Course +1+1
- Study Group +1
- Verb
5. Endorsed Content - Content (2) & Collections (3) created, curated, and "endorsed" by an organization or other strong group
- Noun
- School +1+1+1 +1+1+1 +1+1
- Label +1
- Faculty
- Guides
- Author
- Sponsor
- Organization
- collection
- set! (seems more accessible than "school" which sounds very formal, though maybe that's the point?)
- package (sounds too finished)
- Verb (not sure how this verb is used? example?+1)
- Found
- Start +1+1
- Create
- Propose
- Endorse
- Collect
- participate in?
- affiliated with?
- within? (as in, teams and challenges within a school)
6. Accreditation - Something you get that shows you learned, helped someone else learn, or contributed to the community
- Noun
- Badge +1+1+1 +1+1+1
- Award
- Achievement
- Certificate
- (University) credit +1 (just 'credits'. I've never liked the badge terminology. With credits you can also indicate the value of a course in numbers; every badge looks equal while they may not be of equal importance)

8. Mentee - Someone who receives guidance in a 1:1 setting
