Learning materials development is a field that is high in demand and growing.
News media is always reporting about the big problem of skills gaps.

(need to shorten and simplify paragraph below)
Creating quality learning material is not easy.
Its much more than creating a how to guide with steps on how to do something.
The objective of good learning material is not just conveying information.
Anybody who can breath, talk, and type can do that.
The objective of good learning material is to change people for the better, to learn the skills they set out to do.
Roadblocks to good material include student confusion, boredom, declining motivation and other things that prevent them from achieving their own objectives.
Good learning material development include skills such as psychology, graphic design, effective writing, project management, some programming, and other valuable skills.
level of motivation is the desire of a reward multiplied by the probability of obtaining that reward.
understanding that formula and how it applies to our group will help membership.
How to contribute
Get an understanding of Hyperledger Greenhouse that includes Framework (Primary Hyperledger products ) and Tools (products that help in the use of Hyperledger Frameworks)
Pick a Hyperledger Greenhouse project to work on.
An alternative to Hyperledger Greenhouse project is special interest groups, use cases, and other similar projects.
Another alternative is to look for current problems that nobody is working on or thinking about needed projects that currently do not exist.
An example is to create or contribute to internal use learning material such as how to use git/github, confluence, rocket-chat (I still don't how how to initiate a direct message ), zoom (such things as record and sharing screen)
Learn enough about that project to contribute to existing learning material or start your own new learning material project
For existing learning projects, go to the Resource page and look for exact things to do. (need to list out tasks to do)
If there is no to-do list for a project, ask the project liaison to give you a task (need to include project contact information)
Another thing to do is to sign up as an available tester of material (need to create sign up sheet for testers)
A good way to find work is to look at projects with any status except for complete (make sure the status of project is up to date)
