At Mozilla, we talk a lot about why the open web is important. We build open technology<\/a>, and even advocate for certain policies<\/a> that help keep the web open, interoperable, and ours.<\/p>\n

But at a certain point we have to ask — if not enough people understand the way the web works, or why keeping it open is important, are we doing all that we can?<\/p>\n

That’s why starting today, Mozilla is offering a series of four online courses<\/a> designed to help everyone from formal educators to enthusiastic engineers learn how to teach the basic mechanics, culture and citizenship of the web<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The courses are peer-powered by P2PU<\/a>, and are free, online, and open to anyone who wants to participate. You can sign up<\/a> for one or take them all, and you can go at your own pace. It involves making things using Webmaker tools<\/a> and connecting and learning with others. Much of the activity takes place in an online discussion forum, and we’ll also host weekly video hangouts and community calls for real-time networking and support.<\/p>\n
