School of Webcraft
- Users like the challenges and there is demand for advanced challenges
- Needs someone to take care of the content and community to make it work
- What's Mozilla's goal for School of Webcraft?
- Still considering options
- At this point probably doesn't make sense to hire someone to develop more challenges. Not clear how that would relate to other curriculum development that Mozilla Learning is doing.
Mozilla Learning
- Defining core web literacy skills that Mozilla wants to teach
- By summer 2012 - have a set of learning pathways around those skills
- Access to that experience via http://make.mozilla.org but use lots of different platforms
- Will have some content that would translate very well into SoW as one avenue to push that content
- Q: What's the place for 'web developers' in this?
- A: Not part of 2012 goals. Starting with entry level 101 curriculum.
- Building curriculum and tools to teach those skills
- Very modular
- Some of it will leverage Hackasaurus tools
- Some will be new
- Some may leverage existing projects, e.g. codeacademy.
- 2 questions:
- Next steps:
- Keep Philipp up-to-date as our thinking evolves around the web literacy skills and curriculum
- Philipp to keep an eye (and report back) on the types of challenges being developed
- Check out Chloe's analysis of the challenge pilot
- Loop back/evaluate where to go from there
Hackasaurus challenges check in
- Draft challenges on the ether pad (haven't had a chance)
- Seems like collaboration is working better
- Less planning, more doing
- Evaluation? How do we know if it was a success?
- Laura working on an evaluation plan - will share with the group.
- Once we have Laura's plan, Erin and Philipp to review / loop back / confirm that we agree
- Hacktivity Kit is an important model for Mozilla Learning Content Offering LCO
- Want it to "scale" - help people take the content and run with it / spread it
Use of existing Webcraft budget:
- Coordinate between the two of us? Relationship with Ryan?
- Use for 1/2 of developer position (so we have more fuel to support Mozilla collaboration)
- Webcraft community / challenges?
- School of Webcraft budget hand-over conversation
- Erin to followup with Ryan
Other collaboration opportunities
- Popcorn?
- OpenNews Learning Labs?
- May turn into a more lightweight approach
- How to approach - via Erin, or contact project leads directly?
- Work with project leads, but keep Erin in the loop
DoL OER proposal
- Focused on community colleges and job creation
- Who is the right partner at Mozilla?
- Mozilla Learning, MDN …?
- What's the focus? Go through DoL OER fund (tied to community college) or try to set up badges as general support infrastructure (possibly funded through foundations separately)
- Todo: Set up a call with Geoff, Erin, Philipp
