Learning Methodology

We are working to develop a systematic methodology for learning and evaluation.

This methodology will:

• Outline the beliefs and establish hypothesis related to participation
• Provide a standardized set-up and design for learning
• Incorporate volunteers throughout the process
• Create standards of validity and attribution
• Facilitate coordination and tracking
• Provide clear methods for data aggregation, analysis and synthesis

Method Framework:

1. Establish Clear Goals and Hypotheses: View the planning framework for experiments here.
2. Activity design: Plan your activity including a measurement of investments being made and the value being created by each activity.
3. Quick iteration:Plan for quick iteration of experiments and plans.
4. Analysis of return on investment for Mozilla and Mozillians:
5. Redesign a new iteration, or end the experiment:Based on previous
6. Repeat (3) to (5)
7. Document lessons: Clear documentation of synthesized results.
