Peer review on Teachable
Thursday, February 18th, 2010We have always believed that a wide variety of quality reviews on Teachable was the key to a better service for teachers.
Over the last couple of months we have been changing that process to encourage more reviews for members, and to make it faster for regular contributors to get their ideas live. This involves an On Trial step where a small number of members can download the files for free in order to review.
The other big change is that contributors now have the power to decide whether to publish files in the light of feedback from the community. We realise not everyone is confident their idea will be a winner, and may want to get some feedback before it goes on to become chargeable.
Once a contributor has proved their ability by having more than 5 resources approved on the system, we can skip the ‘Pending’ stage so their files go live quicker.
We want to introduce you to Eric. He’s the newest member of the Teachable.net team. We realise there is no such thing as a typical teacher … but then Eric is imaginary. He epitomises the struggle teachers often have trying to keep teaching materials fresh and engaging.
