It's an initiative designed to strengthen and expand the community and help people contribute meaningful resources and actions to the Webmaker Project. There are online and offline components to Webmaker Training, and both the digital and real world Training initiatives inform and connect with one another. | ||
[[Webmaker/Training | Check out the Roadmap]] | |||
=Conversion points= | |||
An overarching goal of Training is to bring new people into the community so they can contribute by creating '''a safe space''' where they can learn about the mission and community that makes up Webmaker while leveling up their own Web Literacy competencies and skills. Some manage to contribute during training, but because Training is in its infancy, the majority of the focus is on converting people from Users to Supporters. The conversion from Supporter to Contributor will improve exponentially as Training content and community grows. | |||
==Tracking the Conversion== | |||
Using [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Foundation/Metrics/Contributor_Dashboard#Sniff_test the Sniff Test], we've identified a way to track the progression from User to Supporter that Training enables. This conversion is complete when a Training participant has: | |||
* been involved in '''interaction''' with other members of the community | |||
* is a real person ('''bot-proof''' and impossible to spam) | |||
* '''creating''' rather than consuming | |||
* spent at least '''15 minutes of effort''' | |||
Using these attributes, we can see that 71 people have made the full conversion '''in discourse''' (e.g. This number doesn't include people who participated in one of Training's live sessions, posted in social networks about Training, etc). What we're unable to quantify is how close a person might be to the conversion point. | |||
==Lurkers are important== | |||
=Contribution inside of Training= | |||
Contribution, as defined by the [[Webmaker/Contribution Engagement Ladder]] and the metric team's [https://adamlofting.github.io/mofo-contributors-dashboard/ Contributor Dashboard], includes | |||
Webmaker Mentors and Super Mentors who have completed the training and 'got the badge'. | |||
Community members begin contributing to Training when they lead by example and truly participate. Due to the nature of online learning, participation is achieved through active engagement and support. Connectivist experiences like Webmaker Training are life blood for Connected Learners, but for newbies it is painful to learn in this manner. People are simply not used to being in control of their own learning. The more people we as a community engage, the more contributors we inspire. | |||
In the most recent Training, we saw primed community members making tutorials and teaching kits, giving constructive feedback and answering questions. These community members were already primed to achieved Webmaker Mentor status. | |||
