Mozilla Education Internship

The primary activity for this internship will be assisting in creating and maintaining the Mozilla Education site. This includes:

  • Creating a plan for the Mozilla Education site, including criteria for what material should be included and how it should be presented.
  • Creating an inventory of existing Mozilla-related educational material (e.g., at the Mozilla Developer Center or elsewhere) that could be referenced by or repurposed for the Mozilla Education site.
  • Identifying third-party materials (e.g., from OER sites or other sites focusing on participatory learning in an open source context) that would be of interest in a Mozilla context.
  • Creating content for the Mozilla Education site, including new material, repurposed material, and links to material on other sites.
  • Working with Mozilla localization teams to create localized versions of the Mozilla Education site.
  • Researching and implementing options for transforming existing Mozilla materials into formats suitable for custom textbooks and other printable instructional materials.
  • Defining a plan for ongoing maintenance and enhancement of the Mozilla Education site's collections.
