structured and constructed to evaluate the topic

moderator must be able to evaluate a posting or
comment from a variety of perspectives, assessing
its worth, value and appropriateness.
Collaborating and networking

an increasing feature of education. In a world
increasingly focused on communication,
collaboration leading to collective intelligence is a
key aspect. Effective collaboration involves
evaluating the strengths and abilities of the
participants and evaluating the contribution they
make. Networking is a feature of collaboration,
contacting and communicating with relevant
person via a network of associates.
Testing (Alpha and Beta)

applications, processes and procedures is a key
element in the development of any tool. To be an
effective tester you must have the ability to
analyze the purpose of the tool or process, what
its correct function should be and what its current
function is.
