Webmaker/TeachTheWeb/100Days

Webmaker #teachtheweb team: The Next 100 Days

This page outlines what the Webmaker Teach the Web team will do for the next 100 days, from May 27 - Sept. 4.

The purpose is to share what we're working on, with a special focus over the next 100 days not to build new things, but instead to snap together the pieces we've built and to move intentionally with the community.

This is how we will grow sustainably and purposefully.

Training

Webmaker Training is a modular, remixable offering designed to teach people our pedagogies, web literacy skills and competencies, real world community building, and global engagement. Here's our Training Roadmap.

Unique training offerings:

• We make tailored, participatory and collaborative learning experiences. We decide what to learn and make together with our learners.
• Our online and offline learning experiences are designed by and for people who participate in a global movement to spread web literacy.
• Webmaker Training's content and structures are modular and remixable. Here's some reasons why.

 

Teaching Kits

Teaching Kits are modular, remixable collections of activities and resources that lead a mentor through the process of teaching web literacy. Here's the Kits Roadmap.

Unique kit offerings:

• The kit process, built on our principles of co-design. Creators are encouraged to prototype, build together, playtest in communities and remix others' work.
• A global, peer-led community of kit creators. We ensure kits are localised, culturally-relevant and community-made.
• Open source, modular and easily remixable kit formats. All elements ready to be hacked, re-built, re-designed and switched around.

 

Credentials and Skills Mapping

Webmaker Badges are open, online credentials based on Mozilla's Open Badges Infrastructure designed to recognise contribution and web literacy skills and competencies. Here's the Badges roadmap.

Unique badge offerings:

• Recognising the contribution of those learning to teach the web using badges.
• Developing learning pathways around web literacy skills and competencies.
• Credentialing those improving their web literacy skills within competencies represented on the Web Literacy Map.

Contributors

• 6,500 contributors have been activated by our team.
• 500 Webmaker Super Mentors are on-boarded & acknowledged as the community leadership and is shaping the strategic direction and global adoption of Webmaker.
  
• There are well-packaged contribution pathways tied to badges and fully integrated on webmaker.org. There are clear pathways to Hive, Reps, FSA, MDN and CBT and throughout our programs.
• Our community is effectively connected through online channels, community calls and meet-ups. A podcast experiments with new ways to inspire contributors, and we continute to celebrate and interact with the community on social media. Other well-produced items, like training videos and swag, give a level of polish to our offering.

Training

• We have a stable Webmaker Training platform and curriculum, with an improved UX and integrated on webmaker.org.
• 50 contributors are co-facilitating online and in-person trainings and have organized offerings of their own. 3000 Webmaker Mentors have been trained.
• Usage of webmaker.org has increased, especially account creation and new teaching kits.
• Sessions are in progress for Mozfest to run mini trainings within the event as well as improve and test the training offering itself.

Maker Party

• Maker Party is ablaze with 2,400 events in over 80 countries as its final week nears with hundreds of thousands participants learning new skills throughout the summer.
• 150 partners and 300 individual event hosts were effectively activated and supported. Mozilla staff have visited Maker Parties in 5 emerging markets. Mozilla and Maker Party have been featured in numerous local and national media outlets and Webmaker has positioned itself as a leader and advocate in Web Literacy.
• Usage of webmaker.org has increased significantly - especially account creation, remixing resources, and events entered.
  
• Maker Party leaders and partners have prepared sessions for Mozfest to share their experiences and plan for next year, as well as drive a youth-focused party within the festival.

Mozfest

• Mozfest is running on schedule with over 300 accepted sessions curated and coached by well-supported Space Wranglers.
• Registration has reached 1,000 participants and 150 volunteers are signed up.
• The schedule app is stable and tested, the production milestones are being hit, and documentation about how to run Mozfest is well populated with a publication plan.

Web Literacy Pathways

• Pathways are prototyped with the completed web literacy badges and direct ties to "the textbook" and contribution.
• 1,500 people have tagged resources. Over 300 contributors have made teaching kits, including 25 high-touch kits featured in the Community Literacy series.
• Badging at the competency level is scoped together with MDN and the Badge Alliance, and the community review of the Web Literacy Map is in place to happen at Mozfest.

Prototypes

• Major prototypes projects have been fully intergrated into webmaker.org, especially the Web Lit Mapper and Kitbuilder. The Mapper and Kitbuilder are connected in a workflow for contributors to easily tag resources and write teaching kits around them that are then featured prominently on webmaker.org.
  
• The Quilt is a well-packaged offering on webmaker.org with at least 2 featured use cases, MoCo Engagement and Thinkbig Germany.
• A list of prototype needs and ideas is ready to tackle with the participants at Mozfest.

Mozcamps

• The Mozcamp Beta has trained 100 contributors in India who've gone on to active hundreds of new contributors through events and other activities.
• The Mozcamp agenda is iteratively improved and on track to be run in another city.
• Sessions have been scoped for Mozfest that bridge the Mozcamp training content and people.
