Mozilla Learning: promoting universal web literacy

This is the home of the Mozilla Learning planning process. Together we're drafting the Mozilla Foundation's strategic plan for promoting universal web literacy in 2016 and beyond. Working in the open with colleagues, community and you.

• About. Summary of our story, context and thinking to date.
• Get involved. New Mozilla Learning community calls are open to all. (beginning Aug 24)
• Join a Phase 2 Working Group:
  • Leadership Development
  • Advocacy
  • Impact

Phase 2 Working Groups

As we move into Phase 2, we're simplifying our core working groups. Each group will be responsible for a set of objectives, impact statements, and deliverables to be completed by the end of this phase. We'll need your full participation to make each group a success.

• Leadership Development -- More people teaching and advocating for web literacy.
• Advocacy -- Shifting understanding and thinking about the web.

These Working Groups will be supported by:

• Impact -- How we define, measure and maximize our impact.
• Partnerships -- Building a global web literacy network. (All working groups will work on partnerships, but with a provided framework and support.)
  

Moving from "why" and "what" to "how"

• Why = Universal Web Literacy
• What = Advocacy and Leadership Development
• How = the planning work we're tackling now

We’re now moving from Phase 1 to Phase 2 of the planning process: from "what" to the specifics of "how." The next key milestone is Aug 18. That’s when we’ll share our plan for Phase 2 more broadly with staff and community, and broaden public engagement in our plan through Mozilla Learning community calls and comms. The final key milestone for Phase 2 will be our October 14 Board Meeting, where we'll present the results of our work. Phase 3 will then focus on the specifics of roadmapping and budgets.
