• Things that went well
• Lessons Learned
• Possible future structures & new features
• Budget
• Next steps

In short order

• Things that went well
  • Challenge structure
  • Content
  • 'Adopt the challenge' feature
  • Peer-assessed badges--most motivated were people who had just finished the course (report? Chloe to find)
• Lessons Learned
  • Dropoff between 2nd and 3rd challenge
  • Badges
    • Need a fuller team of Experts to review submissions
    • Only those with a particular badge can issue a badge
    • Recruit from the Mozilla community or dedicated Webmaker Expert
  • Fuller curriculum
• Possible future structures & new features
  • SoW as its own thing--branded Mozilla, but P2PU hosts and maintains
  • 200-level & 300-level (somewhere to go after finish 101)
  • Thimble / Webmaker
  • LRMI metadata--can embed in the courses themselves (also possibly inLOC)
  • Alignment with Web Literacy Standard (badge creator would need 'alignment' metadata field)
  • SoW is the only thing within P2PU that is still structured as 'challenges' (as opposed to courses) - Mechanical MOOC hosted elsewhere
  • Teach the web content--
• Next steps
  • Opportunities
    • Web Literacy standard 'Game On'-style contest from MozFest 2013 onwards
    • Alignment with the WebLitStd
    • Support people who are interested in connected learning, learning by making, etc. I'm interested in helping Mentors: described here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Webmaker/Mentor
    • Vanessa: Learning technical skills in a peer learning way, think about it from a PD perspective
    • Adapt teach the web content into challenges? (and retire School of Webcraft? or #teachtheweb *becomes* SoW?)
    • 
      
  • Proposal
    • Content development resources
    • Badges development $
    • Budget
  • Actions:
    • Chloe to find report mentioned about peer-assessed badges
    • Laura and Vanessa to explore moving resources from #teachtheweb MOOC to P2PU in order to let them live on (and creating new things there, as opposed to making new things, then moving things)
    • Vanessa to explore potential rebrand of 'School of Webcraft' vs. 'School of Webmaking' (look at webmaker.org and #teachtheweb - finesse into challenges?)
    • Everyone to go away and 'marinade' about what kind of thing School of Webcraft should morph into (scope, branding, audience, offer)
  • Notes:
    • Dev freeze on badges.p2pu.org
