I’ve been thinking about web literacy (or web literacies) on and off since I posted a diagram version of Michelle Levesque’s helpful first efforts.
The post-it note arrangement above is the result of a burst of creativity following a migraine earlier. The structure was prompted by some things mentioned by Helen Beetham at a couple of JISC events earlier this week.
I’d love some feedback!
I was delighted to be asked to participate in a DML Central Connected Learning Google+ hangout about Open Badges yesterday. The recording should be embedded above, but if not try clicking here.
The session featured a presentation by Erin Knight, Senior Director of Learning at the Mozilla Foundation, and was facilitated by Howard Rheingold.
If you like this, you’ll also be interested in the webinar Erin and her colleague Michelle Levesque ran for the JISC Developing Digital Literacies programme last Friday. In that session, they discussed Mozilla’s work around web literacies.
Check that webinar out here, along with Erin’s write-up.
Update: Michelle’s now created a diagram from her original post.
Michelle Levesque asked for feedback on this: Mozilla’s Web Literacy Skills (v0.1 alpha). I wanted to respond as soon as possible as I think she’s done some great work here.
I’ve visualised the text in her post and then tweaked it slightly to suggest the direction I’d take it:

Changes:
- Added ‘participation’ to Exploring
- Changed ‘bullshit’ to ‘crap’ to avoid offending some people’s sensibilities
- Changed ‘Restaurant HTML’ to ‘HTML basics’ in Authoring
- Combined two blocks to form ‘Reacting to stimulii’ in Building
- Removed ‘Receipe’ize tasks’ in Building
- Added ‘Civil liberties’ to Protecting
- Segmented sections into what would form a ‘Basic’ and an ‘Advanced’ badge’
What do you think? What have I (we) missed?
