Should Learnhub offer the possibility to run communities by teams and not just individuals?

Yes, that would be a new, interesting experience. So, let’s say there would be an IT team, or a Career Guidance Team, a Student Guide Team, an Online Teaching Team etc. in which members can recruit their own team members (restricting the number of panel members maybe?). When it comes to discussions, giving feedback or guidance on something to someone every panel member would have to contribute somehow…. More content could be created, more intensive discussions would be held, etc. But what do you think?

Communities can be administered by multiple people now. If you are the leader of a community you can ‘promote’ other members to a leadership role.

To be honest I’ve noticed this and it sounds great, but I also wished that one of the community managers would explain a bit more in detail how it works. For example, what happens to the allocation of authority points: is that being allocated still individually or as a group? Getting some other information would be great as well, such as do you need to ask the person for permission whether s/he agrees or not to be involved in that particular community?

Irrespective of whether there is/are a single community leader/multiple community leaders to lead a particular community, I think it is open and possible for all the members of that community to contribute to that community in all possible ways, e.g posting lessons, tests, trivia questions etc. and initiating and participating in any debates or discussions. I think what really matters in successful running of a community is not the number of leaders running it but the active involvement of a majority of the members forming that community.

Ok, to answer your questions:

  • authority that you get for community leadership isn’t split, each leader gets the full caclulated amount.
  • you don’t need to ask permission to add someone as a leader. In most cases you’ll already know the person you are nominating, and will probably ask informally.

Also, You’d probably be interested to know that if you are the community creator, you cannot have your leadership revoked by a co-leader.

Thanks for this information.
