What has the Mozilla Learning Networks accomplished so far this year? What’s coming next in Q2?<\/strong> This post includes a slide presentation<\/a>, analysis and interview<\/a> with Mozilla’s Chris Lawrence<\/a>, Michelle Thorne <\/a>and Lainie DeCoursy<\/a>. It’s a summary of a more detailed report on the quarter here<\/a>. Join the discussion on #teachtheweb<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What’s the goal?<\/h2>\n

Establish Mozilla as the best place to teach and learn the web.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Not only the technical<\/em> aspects of the open web — but also its culture, citizenship and collaborative ethos.<\/p>\n

How will we measure that? <\/strong> Through relationships<\/em> and reach<\/em>.<\/p>\n

2015 goal: ongoing learning activity in 500<\/strong> cities<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In 2015, our key performance indicator (KPI) is to establish ongoing, on-the-ground activity in 500 cities around the world<\/strong>. The key word is ongoing<\/em> — we’ve had big success in one-off events through programs like Maker Party. This year, we want to grow those tiny sparks into ongoing, year-round activity through clubs and lasting networks.<\/p>\n

From one-off events to lasting Clubs and Networks<\/h3>\n

Maker Party events help active and on-board local contributors.<\/strong> Clubs give them something more lasting to do. Hive Networks grow further into city-wide impact.

    teach.mozilla.org<\/h3>\n

    teach.mozilla.org<\/strong> will provide a new home for all our teaching offerings — including Maker Party.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    What we did:<\/strong> developed the site, which will soft launch in late April.
    \nWhat’s next:<\/strong> adding dynamic content like blogs, curriculum and community features. Then make it easier for our community to find and connect with each other.

    Mozilla Clubs<\/h3>\n

    We shipped the model and tested it in 24 cities. Next up: train 10 Regional Coordinators. And grow to 100 clubs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    This is a new initiative, evolved from the success of Maker Party<\/strong>. The goal: take the sparks of activation created through Maker Party and sustain them year-round, with local groups teaching the web on an ongoing basis — in their homes, schools, libraries, everywhere.
