What is a "Persona"?

​

To make it easier for users to find content that is suitable for them in their contexts the website was split into different "personas". This is why you see content under the "My Self-Reg" menu, as well as in blogs, forums and video galleries sorted into personas such as Schools, Parents and Researchers for example. This structure is not intended to exclude users from particular areas. Please feel free to browse all areas of Co-Reg Community, this is your space.

​

What are Badges? Why do people have them?

Badges are used to distinguish certain members of the community. Badges will appear underneath a member's profile when they comment in the stories and Forums and are used to show a member's experience in Self-Reg.

There is an additional badge to identify TMC Team Members. Clicking on a member's profile will bring up their information including a description of their badge.
