Web Literacy Standard (2013)

Ausgehend von den Grundsätzen in ihrem "Manifest“ hatten die Mozilla Foundation und ihre Firma Mozilla Corporation mit Beteiligung ihrer Community in einem ersten Versuch 2013 einen Web Literacy Standard entwickelt. Wegen möglicher negativer Konnotationen des Begriffs “Standard” wurde dieser Anfang 2014 durch “Map” ersetzt. Das Papier wurde in den Folgejahren mehrfach überarbeitet. 1915 erschien Version 1.5. Seit April 2016 liegt Version 2.0 vor, die eine Verknüpfung mit einer neu entwickelten Übersicht von "21st century skills" versucht.

Wir dokumentieren hier die ursprüngliche Version:

The Web Literacy Standard

The Web Literacy Standard is a map of competencies and skills that Mozilla and our community of stakeholders believe are important to pay attention to when getting better at reading, writing and participating on the web.

The Web Literacy Standard is made up of three strands: Exploring, Building and Connecting. In turn, each strand is made up of several competencies. Each competency is comprised of a number of skills.

Exploring

  • Navigation
  • Web Mechanics
  • Search
  • Credibility
  • Security

Building

  • Composing for the web
  • Remixing
  • Design and Accessibility
  • Coding/scripting
  • Infrastructure

Connecting

  • Sharing and Collaborating
  • Community Participation
  • Privacy
  • Open Practices
