The program will +offer courses on topics such as Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), +effective communication, project management, inclusive language, and basic +pedagogical principles. Successful participants will earn digital badges +displayed on their public profiles. This initiative aims to enhance community +management by equipping facilitators with the skills needed to support their +communities effectively. + +## Background / Problem Statement + +Many digital communities lack a standardized resource for training facilitators +in effective management and communication. Without proper guidance, those in +leadership roles, such as project mentors and study group coordinators, may +struggle to address conflicts or guide community interactions. Community +Training addresses this gap by providing a structured program that ensures +facilitators are well-prepared to manage community issues and support +collaborative growth. + +## Objectives and Goals + +- **Objective:** Establish an online training platform to train and certify + community facilitators. +- **Goals:** + - Develop and deliver courses covering topcis such as: DEI, communication, + project management, inclusive language, and foundational pedagogical + methods. + - Implement an assessment system where successful participants earn digital + badges. + - Create a public profile system for certified facilitators to showcase their + credentials. + - Enhance overall community management through continuous learning and + mentorship. + +## Scope and Deliverables + +- **Scope:** + - Design and develop an online platform tailored for community facilitator + training. + - Create curriculum content for at least five core courses. + - Integrate an examination system and digital badge issuance mechanism. + - Establish a public profile system for displaying certifications. +- **Deliverables:** + - A fully functional online platform with user registration and course + modules. + - Comprehensive course materials and exam questions for each module. + - Automated digital badge generation and profile integration. + - Documentation and guidelines for both facilitators and administrators. + +## Approach / Methodology + +The project will be implemented in three phases: + +1. **Planning and Design (Months 1-2):** Define the curriculum, design the + platform architecture, and establish the certification process. +2. **Development and Implementation (Months 3-5):** Build the online platform, + develop course content, integrate the exam and badge systems, and conduct + pilot testing. +3. **Evaluation and Rollout (Month 6):** Gather feedback from pilot users, + refine course content and the platform, and officially launch Community + Training. + +An agile methodology will be applied throughout to allow for regular reviews and +continuous improvements. + +## Timeline / Project Schedule + +- **Phase 1: Planning and Design (Months 1-2)** + - Finalize curriculum and platform design. +- **Phase 2: Development and Implementation (Months 3-5)** + - Develop the online platform and integrate course modules. + - Launch a pilot test with a select group of facilitators. +- **Phase 3: Evaluation and Rollout (Month 6)** + - Collect feedback, refine the platform and content, and officially launch + Community Training. + +## Budget and Resource Requirements + +- **Platform Development:** $20,000 +- **Content Creation & Course Development:** $10,000 +- **Pilot Testing & Evaluation:** $2,000 +- **Fiscal Sponsor Overhead (10%):** $3,200 **Total Estimated Budget:** $35,200 + +Additional resources include technical staff for platform development, subject +matter experts for course content, and administrative support for coordination +and outreach. + +## Risk Management + +- **Content Delays:** Set clear deadlines and allocate dedicated resources for + course development. +- **Low Enrollment:** Implement targeted outreach strategies and leverage + existing community networks. +- **Technical Challenges:** Conduct thorough testing during the pilot phase and + allocate resources for rapid troubleshooting. +- **Insufficient Funding:** Seek additional funding or partnerships early to + secure adequate resources. + +## Conclusion and Next Steps + +Community Training aims to address a critical gap in digital community +management by providing structured training and certification for facilitators. +This initiative is expected to improve community support and foster a more +effective, inclusive digital ecosystem.
