Mozilla's Educational Initiatives

Mozillians are people who make things. Moving people from consumption to creation is Mozilla's goal.

I'm going to talk about three things:

1. Webmaker

How do you get better at reading, writing and participating on the Web?

• How do you know what things matter as a learner?
• How do organisations know what to focus on?

At the moment we've got learning silos.

• Lots of awesome work, but no joined-up thinking
• Mozilla is well-placed to sort this out

Credentialing matters.

• What can be credentialed gets assessed.
• What gets assessed can be measured.
• What can be measured gets taught.
• What gets taught (hopefully) is learned.
