What to look out for:

People are trusting your guidance! When a community member comes across a resource or topic, they are banking on the fact that the material is valuable and has been vetted by fellow community members. Help us strive for greatness by only contributing to areas of your expertise/experience.

About Contributing:

The community is central to Mapedia as it is a crowdsourced product (like Wikipedia), meaning the value comes from the contribution of many of its users - which is how it should be! Mapedia is a platform tailored for the benefit of online learners, so the personnel that democratically tailor the product should in fact be, online learners.
The task of building an endlessly expansive learning map (mapping the concepts, curating resources, building upon the foundation, etc.) is so extensive that crowdsourcing is the only way to create the best possible tool, while keeping the product free. Plus, using the wisdom of the crowd, we can leverage the collective intelligence in order to build a collaborative product with the most beneficial resources and most impactful recommendations available.
Each and every small/large contribution to Mapedia directly adds value to the product in which you use. By adding a resource that has been personally vetted by yourself and others, adding a new area of knowledge to be explored, creating an experienced end-to-end learning path, or merely commenting on a forum, you are directly contributing to the growth of Mapedia and the community at large. In order for Mapedia to help the hundreds of thousands of online learners, we need a collective to shape the Map.
