== Mozilla Learning Product Roadmap ==
__NOTOC__
 
* Moved here: http://wiki.webmaker.org/Teach
=== Purpose ===
* Moved here: http://wiki.webmaker.org/Teach
 
* Moved here: http://wiki.webmaker.org/Teach
The Mozilla Learning product exists to support members of the Learning Networks community. To that end, the products should:
* '''Provide entry points''' to our on-the-ground programs, and clear pathways for engagement
* Draw people in by '''telling an accessible story''' about connected learning, web literacy, and digital skills (and provide access to wonky stuff for those who want it)
* Offer individuals and institutions '''a clear value proposition''' related to leadership development, community engagement, and reputation
* '''Facilitate self-organization''' of local communities
* '''Distribute good ideas''' and OER across the network, using both push and pull methods
* '''Serve as a hub for professional development''' and credentialing for self-identified mentors, including those affiliated with partner organizations
 
Additionally, the product will serve the following strategic (and measurable) goals:
* '''Acquisition''': Attract new mentors, generate interest in new Maker Parties, Clubs and Hives
* '''Retention''': Provide pathways for sustained involvement, whether through regular involvement in intermittent campaigns, or ongoing engagement via increasingly deeper commitments
* '''Activation''': Provide channels for communicating Mozilla-level initiatives and campaigns to a broad audience
* '''Community engagement''': Inspire community members to create, remix, and otherwise engage with content and with each other, as well as self-organize into peer groups
 
=== Audience ===
 
The primary audience is people who self-identify as a “teacher” or “mentor” or “educator” and who want to teach web literacy.
 
They are likely to discover the site via previous knowledge of the existing Learning Networks programs, a connection to one of our partner orgs, word of mouth, or a CTA from Webmaker.org.
 
Many will have regular access to a group of learners, and will be looking for content and perhaps professional development resources. For them, we offer the social model of Clubs; a high-quality curriculum and complementary badging pathways; training; and access to our community.
 
A smaller group will not have regular access to learners, but will be interested in becoming mentors. For them, we offer a contributor pathway that starts with basic skill-sharing, moves through the heavier lift of the Maker Party model, and then up through the Clubs model and even Hive; offering skill-advancement and community-building opportunities along the way. We use contributor badges to guide these mentors through the engagement ladder.
 
==== Value Propositions ====
 
* '''Content''': access to world class curriculum and resources 
* '''Community''': access to community support and mechanisms for self-organizing

'''Goals/Hypotheses'''
* Familiar users can easily find what they're looking for (i.e. activities to teach, a way to add their Club to the map, the Clubs Curriculum)
* Unfamiliar users can easily grok what Mozilla Learning is about (i.e. web literacy and digital skills, pedagogical POV)
 
'''Features'''
* IA that supports major use cases and workflows (see http://mzl.la/1IP6chM)
* gallery of curriculum
* link to discourse and TTW podcasts
* Clubs database/map (allow users to add their basic Club/Hive information including location and url)

'''Measurement (How will we know if goals are met?)'''

==== v1.4: Badged Again! (Q3) ====
 
* Create concept of limited badge-issuing privileges
* Create interface for granting badge-issuing privileges to Club Captains. The permissions may be limited in two ways:
** They'll be able to grant badges only to members of their Club (hence the need for creating connections between individuals and Clubs in the earlier iteration)
** They may only be able to grant certain badges (TBD)
 
==== v1.5: Let’s Go Clubbing (heartbeats: Q3)====
 
* Find people based on a set of criteria interesting to me (e.g. location, language, experience level, profession, interests) and organize into a group
* Organize around a specific project or campaign, maybe in a kickstarter-y way (where the currency is people, not $)
* [See http://mzl.la/1xZgfKQ for an in-depth discussion of the groups platform]
 
==== v1.6: The Badgening (Q3) ====
 
* More badge improvements!
** Show users recommended badges (based on their previous earned badges and our pathways)
** Allow users to share their earned badges, and invite others to also earn them
** Allow badge issuers option to receive notifications or emails when new badge applications are submitted
** Automatically grant certain badge-issuing privileges to users with the Super Mentor badge
 
==== v1.7: Teach v2: A New Hope (Q3) ====
 
* Make the Teach site even jazzier
** Full Discourse integration
** l10n
** [Needs determined by usage so far + agreed upon KPIs TBD]
 
==== v1.8 Got Training? ====
 
Stories may include:
* As a mentor, I should be able to:
** independently go through a training program on my own time
** participate in live training activities
** be notified of upcoming trainings that are relevant to me
** request specific trainings
** participate in an online mentoring program
 
==== v1.9: Hive ====
 
[Placeholder for possible integration of hivelearningnetworks.org content into teach.webmaker.org, or perhaps just iterating on HLN.org. I have zero opinion on which is the best course right now, so I’m including this as a thing to think about.]
 
[Could also include an interactive re-packaging of the Hive Cookbook. Latest is here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Webmaker/HiveCookbook]
 
==== v2.0: Maker Party and/or Events ====
 
[Placeholder for possible integration of add’l Maker Party content, not included at launch]
 
[Placeholder for possible integration of Webmaker Events platform]
 
==== v2.1: Extra-Curricular Activities====
 
Additional improvements to curriculum:
* group activities and kits into pathways and share those pathways with others
* “manage” curriculum (could include a range of things, e.g: add/edit/delete, favorite, save drafts, add to a wishlist)
