A peer teaching website could be a shared website for peer evaluation and accomplishment that many different applications, courses, and tests could reference.

This page outlines a framework for multiple distinct websites and communities, each organized around some topic. The topic might be a domain of knowledge (math, writing, gardening, etc), or might be geographic or organized around just about anything.

This idea meshes with some of the other ideas of a general role-playing environment for users to build identity, reputation, and skills while telling and experiencing shared stories.

Individual domains

In this domain there are a series of tasks presented, at increasing levels of difficulty. For instance, a botany website might have tasks like:

  • Take (and upload) a picture of a plant around your house
  • Take a picture of both a deciduous and coniferous tree, and label each one
  • Do the colored water carnation experiment (cut the stem in half, etc)
  • Estimate the ratio of trees to people in your neighborhood
