Overview

Vision

Establish a robust presence for Mozilla education in Europe via a proposed course in Mozilla technologies combining classroom instruction, online instruction, and student projects.

Context

Thus far we have had minimal activity with Mozilla Education activities in Europe. However there is strong interest from Mozilla Europe in jumpstarting Seneca-style Mozilla education in the EU, and we have had some institutions express interest in participating in a Mozilla-related education initiative, chief among them being the Universidad Rey Juan Carlos in Madrid, a relatively new public university with an existing competence in open source (through the GSyC/LibreSoft group). We are currently working on a draft proposal for a Mozilla education initiative in cooperation with Mozilla Europe and URJC.

Thesis

With this project we can test two theses, a) that we can run a successful Mozilla education initiative in Europe, and b) that a combination of face-to-face and online instruction can be as effective as the more traditional approach based primarily on classroom instruction.

Approach

The general approach proposed is to combine an initial "sprint" period of intensive classroom instruction with a subsequent longer period of online instruction combined with student projects.
