Roles

Why invent a term like "weber" when their is a widely accepted term for that role? Director is also a confusing term. If that is the person who administers the system, why not call them a systems administrator. Again, a widely accepted term for someone in this role.

Hmm, I doubt there are unambiguous names. However, I'm not wedded any set of names.

Are author, instructor, and student alright?

Weber

I use Weber because it's funny. OK, maybe just to me. Here's what I wrote, long ago:

---- CUT SCREEN HERE ----

A Weber is someone who makes Web sites.

During the middle ages in Europe, people where often named for their jobs.

If John was a blacksmith, he’d be called John Smith.

If John made barrels, he’d be called John Cooper (a cooper is someone who makes barrels).

If John made Web sites, he’d be called John Weber.

So, if your last name is Weber, there’s a good chance that one of your ancestors made Web sites during the middle ages.

HA HA! Ha?

Weber is a brand of BBQ equipment in the US, too. That just makes it funnier!! Except to that designer. Must have a stump up his arse. What a whinger. Isn't a pom, is he?

What's a better name? Site builder?

Director

The director is not a Drupal admin - I don't have a Drupal admin on the list (the weber/site builder is the closest function).

The director is someone who's in charge of the learning project. Defining the audience, setting learning outcomes, like that. It's a business function, not a tech one.

What's a better name? Lead author?

Evaluator

Might not be an actual teaching assistant. Could be in another hemisphere, even.

Would grader be better? I use that sometimes.
