= Club Cohorts =


This is a group of collaborators with whom we'll co-develop the club initiative. It is a mixture of larger learning networks and individuals who are dedicated to teaching the web. We have worked closely with them on a variety of projects already, including Hive, Maker Party and Mozfest.
To make testing more iterative and bring in club creators when it best suits their organizational needs and timing, we will have cohorts each quarter.  


Whatever we build, it will be shaped deeply by the needs and ideas of this group. '''They are our distributed leadership.''' They bring expertise and experience, and '''our offering should be in service to them.'''
== Q1 Cohort ==


== Hive members ==
40 volunteers from 24 cities participated in the Q1 testing. Their roles included:
* Maurya Couvares, ScriptED - confirmed
* Gina Tesoriero, NYC Department of Education - confirmed
* Meredith Summs, Mouse - confirmed
* Jess Weichler, Makerbox
* Lina Kim, Diana Lee, Ab Velasco, Toronto Public Library
* Andrea Ellis, Kansas City Library
* Leslie Scott, aSTEAM Village

== Maker Party partners ==
* '''Club Auditor:''' Just listen in on the process. Participate on the mailing list and calls. Reflect on the materials and process. Ideally, audit if you're considering doing a local version later.
* Dan Gilbert, Afterschool Alliance
* '''Club Tester:''' Create a test club or integrate the test programming into activities you're already doing locally. Have 3-4 weeks when you can be engaging with your learners and participating in club calls. There will be multiple cohorts of testers, so if you can't make one round, don't worry there will be more. You can also do multiple tests, as we'll add modules and improvements as we go.
* Jonathan, Digital Harbor - confirmed
* '''Club Coach:''' If you've done local programming like this already or have tested a club as part of another cohort, you could mentor others who are testing. You can advise and coach the testers as well as provide additional insight and analysis on what's working.

In Q2, our goal is to test 200 clubs. We anticipate needing the following roles:


* Kim Wilkens, St. Anne's-Belfield School - confirmed
* '''Curriculum Creators (10-15):''' This group of pioneering educators will curate and review the curriculum, as well as refine our understanding of web literacy and pathways through the offering. Some may also test it locally and be involved in localization. 
* Ian O’Byrne, University of New Haven - confirmed
* '''Regional Coordinators (5-10):''' This new volunteer leadership position will on-board and mentor club captains. They will learn and support other regional coordinators, and be mentored themselves by staff organizers. Some regional coordinators may come from partner institutions and work with their networks to test clubs. 
* Greg McVerry, Southern Connecticut State University - confirmed
* '''Club Captains (150-200):''' This group of people have a local group that they can test the curriculum with. They will share back the results to the regional coordinators, which will be synthesized and discussed with the curriculum barnraisers.

Moved to: http://wiki.webmaker.org/clubs/


To make testing more iterative and bring in club creators when it best suits their organizational needs and timing, we will have at least three test cohorts (ca. one each quarter).
= Archive =


Each cohort will test a set of content, as well as the supporting materials and design principles of the clubs. There will be time for needs gathering, onboarding, testing and reflection in each cohort. Participants can join any cohort in any role that appeals to them. They can also repeat roles or move into other roles depending on interests and needs.
== Completed Milestones ==


Each cohorts will be a mixture of the following roles:
=== DONE - Q4 2014 (pre-alpha) ===


== Club Auditor == 
'''Deliverable: Be scoped.''' <br>
---> Initial commitment and calendar of club creator cohorts (alpha, beta, release to market). Requirements gathering and assemble assets.

== Club Tester ==
=== DONE - Q1 2015 (alpha testing) ===


Create a test club or integrate the test programming into activities you're already doing locally. Have 3-4 weeks when you can be engaging with your learners and participating in club calls. There will be multiple cohorts of testers, so if you can't make one round, don't worry there will be more. You can also do multiple tests, as we'll add modules and improvements as we go.  
'''Deliverable: Be feature complete.''' <br>
---> Rough versions of all features (content, tools and support) are ready. Test "Module 1: Web Literacy Basics" with first cohort. Experienced club creators observe & coach new ones.

If you've done local programming like this already or have tested a club as part of another cohort, you could mentor others who are testing. You can advise and coach the testers as well as provide additional insight and analysis on what's working.

== Club Working Groups ==


There are also working groups that may span several rounds of testing. These groups focus deeply on a particular aspect of the clubs. They will do competitive analysis, research and codesign on their key topic as part of the larger process.

== Curriculum ==
=== [[Webmaker/2015/Mentors/Clubs/Curriculum | Curriculum]] ===


We will continue to write and test the club activities and instructions with the club creators. We are aiming for '''at least 3 modules,''' as well as '''examples & simple ways to remix these foundational modules for different audiences''' (e.g. libraries, afterschool programs, family at home, etc.)
