  • DELETE THIS - List here the pre-requisites (in the form of other skills) for learning this skill

  • EXAMPLE-CHANGE-ME - Java 8 Programmer (Apprentice Developer)

[RESOURCES]

[BADGES]

  • DELETE THIS - We plan to use Mozilla's Open Badges so people can quickly show which skills they have. Just like LinkedIn skills, we're trusting you not to cheat.

[EXPERIENCE SUGGESTIONS]

  • DELETE THIS - This field might become another type of "Quest-Component" (just like this Skill is) in the future, but for now this is just a free text area where you can list the experiences you think are essential to have had in order to claim you have this skill.

[ADVENTURER NOTES]

  • DELETE THIS - This is just a free text area where you can share the benefits of your experiences learning this skill so that those who follow you can benefit too. If the skill has a chat-room or mailing list, contributors might decide to discuss notes there and then move them over here when they as a collective are happy with them

[THE CAIRN]

  • DELETE THIS - This is an idea which you might want to use. All adventurers who have completed this skill can list their name here, a bit like a cairn at the top of a mountain, upon which you place another stone when you reach the summit.
