[Mak-developer] Learning Support

[<wil...@gm...>]

Hello, I want to share some ideas I've about the learning support.
I partition this text in the following parts: a.) Difficulty Levels, b.)
Certification, c.) Scenario

a.) Difficulty Levels
You have different difficulty levels, and a different compensation for each.
Levels:
The first (implemented), you see the full mindmap, and you have to find the
path to random selected nodes.
The second (you just see the nodes of the next depth) and you have to find
again the path
Third (you see just your current node, and the yet processed tree) and you
have to enter the name of the nodes in the path to your target node.
Compensation:
You get points for each node you found. The points decrease with the time
you need to find the node. The result is multiplied with the number of nodes
you already found (I think, you know the map better, if you found 100 nodes,
taking 1 minute average for each, as finding 2 nodes in 5 seconds and then
viewing your results)
Different levels are differently valued, for example level 1 means each
found node 5 points,  level 3 each found node 100 points.


b.) Certification
Someone can make up a mindmap, say a linux documentation. And define
criterias, for different mastery levels. For example 1000 points in 10
minutes means: ultimate linux master.

c.) This allows the following scenario:
Release a linux mindmap, and anyone, who has mastered a
degree(certification) gets a plain text file with his score, personalities
encrypted.
He can mail this text file to the releaser of the mindmap, and the releaser
(snail)mails him back a certificate.
With this you can get directly certified on a documentation of a software or
whatever is in the mindmap.
