This is the result of a consultation process that initially aimed at a v2.0 but was re-scoped following community input. Find out more about the interviews, survey and calls that were part of that arc on the <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.mozilla.org\/Webmaker\/WebLiteracyMap\/v2\" rel=\"nofollow\">Mozilla wiki<\/a> or in <a href=\"http:\/\/webliteracy.tumblr.com\/post\/105350339629\/in-this-last-web-literacy-map-v2-0-community-call\" rel=\"nofollow\">this tumblr post<\/a>. The feeling was that we should double-down on what makes v1.x useful before moving to a v2.0 later in the year.<br \/>\nSome of what we\u2019ll be discussing and working on in the community calls has already been scoped out, while some will be emergent. We\u2019ll definitely be dealing with the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Deciding whether we want to include \u2018levels\u2019 in the map<\/strong> <em>(e.g. Beginner \/ Intermediate \/ Advanced)<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>Reviewing the existing skills and competencies<\/strong> <em>(i.e. names\/descriptors)<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>Linking to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/en-US\/about\/manifesto\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Mozilla manifesto<\/a><\/strong> <em>(where appropriate)<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>Exploring ways to iterate on the visual design of the competency layer<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>On the first call we focused on the top item in this list &#8211; namely whether we should include &#8216;levels&#8217; in the map. You can listen to the recording and read an overview of the decision we came to <a href=\"http:\/\/webliteracy.tumblr.com\/post\/108259601984\/many-thanks-to-those-who-joined-us-for-this-first\">here<\/a>. The consensus was that what might be &#8216;beginner&#8217; in one context might be &#8216;advanced&#8217; in another. So we&#8217;re <em>not<\/em> going to be including skills levels in v1.5 of the Web Literacy Map.<\/p>\n<h3>Get involved!<\/h3>\n<p>Please do join us <strong>every Thursday at 4pm UTC<\/strong> for the Web Literacy Map community calls <em>(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.timeanddate.com\/worldclock\/fixedtime.html?msg=Web+Literacy+Map+community+calls&amp;iso=20150115T16&amp;p1=%3A&amp;ah=1\">what time is that for me?<\/a>)<\/em>. These will run to the end of March, by which time we should have created v1.5. Details of the calls are posted to the <a href=\"https:\/\/lists.mozilla.org\/listinfo\/webmaker\">Webmaker list<\/a>, or you can bookmark <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.mozilla.org\/Webmaker\/WebLiteracyMap\/v1.5\">this wiki page<\/a>.<br \/>\nIn addition to these calls, we\u2019ll almost certainly have &#8216;half-hour hack\u2019 sessions at the same time on a Monday. These may include re-writing skills\/competencies and work on other things that need doing &#8211; rather than discussing. Pay attention to the Webmaker list for more details on these!<br \/>\n<strong>Can&#8217;t make the calls?<\/strong> Please do add your feedback and ideas to the relevant section of the <a href=\"http:\/\/discourse.webmaker.org\/category\/meta\/web-literacy-map\">#TeachTheWeb discussion forum<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p align=\"right\"><em>Image of Alvar Maciel&#8217;s notebook at MozFest 2014 CC BY <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/dougbelshaw\/15449425088\/in\/set-72157646655087913\">Doug Belshaw<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mozilla&#8217;s Web Literacy Map constitutes the skills and competencies required to read, write and participate on the web.
