I want to improve my tracker skills, teach me the ways, master!

i am up to it; i like to write useful stuff and have a couple of ideas to work on if this happens = 3

I wanna be sincx's student on the art of vic20--oh wait I'm already rocking VIC-Tracker 2.0 :c

As long as I can teach young nubs the way of the zebra ys

i can understand that people might be interested in such a practice, but why does it need to be implemented as part of the site?

@Jangler; because as a community, we are closer to each other to ask for stuff rather than seeing an x person tutorial over internet which you might not be able to interact with; also as an art community each one of us know some good trick and this might be the only way to let them show off their knowledge with us, after all BotB's utility is to improve our art while learning and communicating with other artists.

That didn't answer the question at all

well, you can say that because of all the reasons i gave there; and also the fact that it may do good to botb since we all could be learning from ourselves to do better entries.

this also may make the community more bond.

so that is why it might be needed to add this feature to botb, because it carries good things that otherwise would not happen.

why not having documented tutorials on botb? is easier to come back to them since it is in the site, and not on a log file that might get wiped for whatever reason, also is better because the one who teach might only teach the thing only once, while teaching by private would have to be done everytime all over again when other n00bs have the same question.

more or less charlotte is also just going to remove everything from her profile, aside from the word instructor. also she will be taking student requests on her public profile and teaching you through private message, ohbs, and discord sessions. ;D

i think this would work pretty well, although i believe it should mainly be a cosmetic thing instead of a another point divvying thing

I like the idea but the execution would be really poor. We already have a lyceum intended for this thing, and I don't think anyone would bother having specific people as apprentices. Any guide crafted for this purpose would be too targeted and it'll confuse other n00bs who want to learn. Essentially you'd be reinventing the wheel every time with no real benefit.

A more real solution is writing general purpose guides in a standard format, some of which already exist in the form of "i am new to X". The format doesn't need to be fancy, just make your own or research stuff that works if you do feel fancy, and ensure everyone follows the same format.

I am no pedagogist, but if you intend to teach something from scratch, I think the best way is writing an introductory paragraph, maybe a small FAQ which mixes up with the rest of the article (sorta like predicting obvious questions and answering them neatly), and steadily teaching the basics of the thing you wanna cover.

You could go even further and make pro guides, to teach cool techniques and the like. It would take a lot of effort but if you guys can write a decent archive of articles intended for teaching the stuff you do here, you will not only educate existing n00bs, but potentially attract new ones.

all what the dog said ^

This website is meant to be an old-timey creative competition arena.

I've read this whole thread twice and I still don't know exactly what is being requested. I'm finding the feature specification amorphous. So you go to someone's profile and click a button that says "I want to learn from this BotBr"? Then the 'teacher' comes up with a lesson plan and schedules a class? Or it's a thread? Or it's an open discussion on IRC? Or it's a youtube/twitch stream with chats? A shareable skype session? And then BotB is supposed to host this amorphous content in some useful way for others to find?

'non-negotiable part is profile integration (X "lessons given/recieved").' -- looking like a pretty major feature that mirrors/mimics other things on the site. I'm not trying to neg the idea, but given that I can't see exactly what is proposed other than an extra tab on profiles I don't even understand the amount of work it would take to implement.

n00b forum <-- ask anything
Bulletins <-- announce a class?
Lyceum <-- post tutorials or concepts to be gone over in a live context?

Would granting Lyceum article attachments be helpful? Like images and audio? Or is that too static and useless?

Aside from tracking lessons with student->teacher metadata and logging the interaction, I don't understand what's missing or blocking this community exercise.

I'll support this wholeheartedly if the system will allow me to accidentally set me as a student of myself.
