Identity, qualifications, professional registration where relevant and institutional affiliation supported through an appropriate verification process.
FACULTY & MENTOR STANDARD
Verify the person, define the role, record the contribution.
A faculty profile is a professional identity layer. Academic authority and contribution come from specific programme, project, institutional or review assignments.
PROFILE LAYERS
Four kinds of information should remain distinguishable.
Focused clinical, teaching, research and mentorship interests supplied by the professional and represented as such.
Programme faculty, mentor, research, reviewer, committee or institutional roles tied to a specific source record and period.
Completed teaching, mentorship, research, review and academic-service records derived from actual GeNext/institutional activities.
MENTORSHIP RECORD
Minimum structure for a formal Mentor Connect engagement.
✓Mentorship ID/status
✓Learner / mentee identity with appropriate privacy
✓Mentor identity
✓Programme/project/community context
✓Mentorship type
✓Learning / project objectives
✓Scope and boundaries
✓Planned duration
✓Meeting / communication rhythm
✓Milestones or review points

✓Outcome / closure status
ASSIGNMENT MODEL
Roles are granted from the activity outward.
Need defined
A programme, project, event, learner or academic community identifies a faculty/mentor requirement.
Expertise match
Relevant verified/declared expertise and availability are reviewed.
Role accepted
Scope, dates, responsibilities, boundaries and conflicts are acknowledged.
Contribution delivered
Teaching, mentorship, assessment, research or review occurs within the assigned context.
Activity verified
The programme/project authority confirms the contribution where appropriate.
History updated
A durable contribution record is added without exposing confidential learner, reviewer or project information.
QUALITY
Feedback informs development; it should not become a popularity marketplace.
Learner and programme feedback can support faculty development and programme review. Private feedback should remain appropriately controlled, and public-facing faculty status should not be determined by simplistic star ratings, popularity or commercial ranking.
CONTRIBUTION RECORD
What may accumulate across a faculty career.
✓Programme teaching
✓Workshop instruction
✓Fellowship mentorship
✓Research mentorship / project role
✓Conference academic role
✓Academic-resource contribution
✓Assessment / examiner role
✓Peer / academic review
✓Committee / community service
✓Programme leadership
✓Publications / scholarly outputs
✓Faculty-development participation
The same standard can drive Faculty & Mentor Connect digitally.
Profiles become discoverable; roles remain scoped; contributions become traceable.
