Learning/2015
This page includes high-level plus more detailed plans for the Mozilla Foundation's 2015 key initiatives: Learning Networks, Learning Products, and Leadership Development.
The Plan
This journey started 5 years ago in Barcelona at Learning, Freedom & the Web. We’ve experimented and adapted along the way -- developing Webmaker, Hive, Maker Party, our fellows programs. The opportunity remains the same: to radically empower individuals with the skills they need to make the web.
Start here. The high-level 2015 plan.
In 2015, we'll continue to build on what we've achieved with Webmaker, Hive, Maker Party and our fellows programs over the past few years. Specifically we plan to:
- Improve and grow our local learning networks (Hive, Maker Party, etc).
- Build up an engaged user base for Webmaker, on both mobile and desktop.
- Prototype a simple leadership development program, test w/ fellows and ReMo.
We'll also work on plans in 2015 to pull our existing initiatives -- plus other programs like MDN -- into a bigger Mozilla Learning or "Mozilla University" initiative.
1) Learning Networks
