What it is:

In the Fall of 2011, P2PU and Mozilla evaluated P2PU current offerings, and began an experiment called "Challenges". These learning modules are a series of tasks that lead to the development of a web project. Through the completion of these modules, participants can develop skills and earn badges to document their triumphs. The alpha run of Challenges is called Webcraft 101 and includes seven challenges. Completion of these project based challenges lead to the participant's development of a fully functional webspace. Basic HTML/CSS skills and web concepts like hosting, server space, and DNS are among the skills participants learn.

At this stage, Mozilla and P2PU are making UX/functional improvements to the P2PU platform to support challenges created for Mozilla projects. These improvements will allow Mozilla greater functionality for the creation of Mozilla content, and allow content creators to assign badges. The Hackasaurus project will provide the first trial content.

Mozilla and P2PU are also working together to determine the value Challenges brings to users, learners, mentors, teachers, and course designers. After the Hackasaurus curricula are created and built using the P2PU platform, Mozilla and P2PU will evaluate success by comparing Webmaking 101 usage with Hackasaurus usage.

Goals

The main goals of this project are to improve the interface of P2PU to make Challenges easier to create and with more interactive functionality, specifically for Mozilla content creators and to assess the value of the challenges process from a partner perspective and from a user perspective.
