Question

What skills are necessary for doing open assessment? What methods should everyone know how to use, which ones are special skills?

Answer

These are technical skills that are important for performing or evaluating open assessments in Opasnet. They are in a rough order, starting from those that are the most common or crucial skills. Of course, there are many other skills that are important but not technical (e.g. understanding what to write, in addition to knowing how to write in a wiki), but they are not listed here.

Basic wiki skills:

Main article: Help:Wiki editing / op_fi:Ohje:Wiki-muokkaus

• Format : headings, bold, italic, lists, indentations
  • Understanding and using the heading (attribute) structure for information objects: scope, result, rationale, see also, keywords, references, related files.
• Tables: basic table (prettytable), table to wiki, colspan
• Links: internal, to another wiki, external, to the same text in a wiki with different language, to Wikipedia, permanent link. Controlling visibility of text in a link (text separated with |, square brackets, running numbers).
• Ref-tag: basic use, correct manner of referencing
• Files: uploading and description, adding a picture to a site, thumb parameters, link to a file or link to a site containing the file
• Categories, categorizing
• Evaluating scientific content and usefulness of a page using the rating bar.

Basics of open assessment

Main article: Help:Open assessment method / op_fi:Ohje:Avoimen arvioinnin menetelmä

• Page types: assessment, variable, encyclopedia, method, study
  • Template parameters: moderator, stub
• Subtitles=attributes and their contents
• Composing good research questions
• Writing a structured discussion on a discussion page and linking to it from the content page.
  • Organized argumentation: discussion, attack, defence, comment, invalidation, hierarchy
• Uploading data into Opasnet base: t2b, t2b-csv
• Life expectancy model Impact calculation tool (ICT)

Opasnet maintenance

Main article: Help:Opasnet maintenance / op_fi:Ohje:Opasnetin ylläpito

• Kuka ylläpitää Opasnet-järjestelmää (THL)
• Kuka saa kirjoittaa (kaikki)
• Kuinka laatua ylläpidetään
  • Kirjoittajien harkinta
  • Lukijoiden palaute, kommentit ja rating bar
  • THL joidenkin sivujen osalta joko työntekijöiden voimin tai tuntityönä
• Millä perusteella THL valitsee ylläpidettävät sivut? ←--#: . Keskusteltava! --Jouni 06:27, 5 June 2012 (EEST) (type: truth; paradigms: science: defence)
• Millä perusteella THL palkkaa ylläpitäjät? ←--#: . Keskusteltava! --Jouni 06:27, 5 June 2012 (EEST) (type: truth; paradigms: science: defence)
• Mikä on vapaaehtoisen ylläpidon rooli? ←--#: . Keskusteltava! --Jouni 06:27, 5 June 2012 (EEST) (type: truth; paradigms: science: defence)
• Mikä on palkallista työtä ja mikä ei? Onko kohtuullista vaatia, että esim. Opasnetin menetelmät opiskellaan omalla ajalla, ja vain ohjeiden kirjoittamisesta maksetaan? Perustelu: työ voitaisiin pitää THL:n sisällä ja antaa jonkun sellaisen tehtäväksi, joka on jo opiskellut kyseisen asian; näin säästyisi THL:n rahaa. ←--#: . Keskusteltava! --Jouni 06:27, 5 June 2012 (EEST) (type: truth; paradigms: science: defence)
