Educators
TLDR: Educators are expected to create and distribute high quality educational content to help onboard the next generation of DeFi users to Umee.
To get started as an educator:
- Visit the #start-here channel in the "Community DAO" section of Umee's Discord;
- Assign yourself the "CD Contributor" role and "CD Educator" role;
- Check the #cd-announcements and #education-rfc channels to get an idea of the type of contributions the committee will be looking for;
- Use this form to submit each piece of original educational content you create.
Overview
Create and share high quality educational content that is easily understandable and ENGAGING! Avoid creating unnecessarily long content if it can be condensed and shared in a shorter format.
Educators are encouraged to focus on what they're good at, since quality is significantly more important than quantity. It's important to distribute educational content to the appropriate audience in order for it to be deemed valuable. Collaborate with your local community and the greater Umee community on Discord in order to determine the most effective distribution methods.
The purpose of educational content is to EDUCATE new and prospective users. Platforms like Medium will remove posts it determines to be advertisements or promotions.
