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.

Where are we? How did we get here
Defining a more ambitious learning and leadership plan is one of MoFo’s main goals for 2016.
- We’ve just wrapped up the first phase of this work: defining the ‘why’ (universal web literacy) and the ‘what’ (leadership and advocacy) for this plan.
- We’re now starting phase two: defining how MoFo will engage in these two core strategies in 2016 and beyond.
- As discussed in Whistler, much of the ‘how’ is about looking at how existing activities improve and connect. Staff from across the org will be involved in figuring this out.
- Three working groups will help guide this process: leadership development, advocacy and impact. Participation is open to all. Everything you need is available at: mzl.la/learning
- Phase two runs from now to the Oct board meeting. Then phase 3 will dig into the nitty gritty of roadmapping and budgeting -- creating a final business plan.
Phase 2 Working Groups
As we move into Phase 2, we're further simplifying and integrating our core working groups. Each group will be responsible for a set of objectives, impact statements, partnerships 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
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 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 planning through Mozilla Learning community calls and communications. The final 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.
