- This page will serve as a guide for the coaches on how to engage with new scholars.
- Coaches should execute the steps of engagement in the exact order as explained in the following sections:
1. Creating User Account
- Creating a user account or confirming a request for an account will require "administrative user rights".
- To confirm a request for a user account, click here.
- To create an account for a user, click here.
2. Creating User Template
- A user template is a computer program that generates the same content on multiple pages.
- Create a new page and type "template:xyz (xyz here can be the name or initials of the scholar)".
- E.g., John Smith's user template can be "template:JS", "template:JSmith", or "template:JSM".
- Go to the newly created template page, type "[[User:Scholar Name|Scholar Name, Educational degree of the scholar]][mailto:email ID of the scholar]" and save the page.
- Note down the name of this saved page and share it with the respective scholar.
3. Creating User Sandbox
- The WikiDoc "sandbox" is meant to be used as a medium to practice basic editing commands.
- It is recommended that the sandbox should be used alongside training on basic editing.
- To create a user sandbox, create a new page and type "sandbox:xyz (xyz here can be the name or initials of the scholar)".
- Note down the name of this saved page and share it with the respective scholar.
4. Assistance and Compliance Check
- After going through the above mentioned steps, coaches should periodically check on their assigned scholars' progress.
- This can be achieved by checking on the individual user sandbox or just by simply asking if any assistance is needed.
- It is crucial to address the concerns and questions of the scholars as they proceed with interacting with the layout and organization of WikiDoc projects.
5. Communication
- As is true for every team work project, being a part of WikiDoc team also aligns with abiding by all the rules and norms of team work.
- Communication is the key to making sure the scholars are settling in.
- Efficient communication makes sure that the scholars' questions and concerns are properly addressed in a timely manner.
- Every scholar is a beginner and since every beginner is potential master of his/her domain, it is imperative that the scholar's effort be appreciated.
