AleAreaLeader

From LiteracyTentWiki

The Adult Literacy Education Wiki has several volunteer Topic Area Leaders. These folks look after a topic area (or areas) of the wiki. They may be involved in any or all of the following:

• Creating the topic area
• Organizing or re-organizing the area (usually following the format described at AleNewTopic
• Noticing practitioner and researcher questions which are pertinent to this area and adding them to the Questions section of the area
• Adding threads of pertinent discussions from electronic lists to the Discussion section of the area
• Adding in references to pertinent research for that area
• Adding to the general ALE Wiki glossary and/or developing a sub-section of that glossary for their particular area
• encouraging ALE Wiki use and modeling how to use it in both online and face-to-face forums, for example:
  • Inviting participation by asking for others to contribute to the wiki;
  • sending Wiki topic area updates to electronic lists (listservs) and inviting feedback;
  • making presentations or including the ALE Wiki topic area as a resource within a presentation on the same topic;
  • using ALE Wiki links as references in online communications, or as resources in newsletters or other publications...
• Putting a short bio on the WhosHere page
• Keeping up with ALE Wiki news by reading the weekly Wikiteer Update
