So all that we really need to do is for libraries and schools and other like-minded agencies to realize how they can be a part of that learning, which is already happening Learningfreedomandtheweb.org

- The Mozilla Foundation is a global nonprofit mostly known for their Firefox web browser. What many don't know is that they also are one of the driving forces and sponsors behind the connected learning movement. Mozilla’s mission is to promote openness, innovation, and opportunity on the web, so that it remains open, accessible, knowable, and interoperable. In short: to ensure that the web remains a public resource. Teaching the web and promoting web literacy and privacy, consequently, are at the core of Mozilla’s activities. Through the collaborative creation of a Web Literacy Map and collaborative learning events like Maker Parties, together with engagement in Hive Learning Networks, among others, Mozilla supports web literacy in all kinds of settings. Together with partners from the formal and non-formal learning sector, including libraries, Mozilla supports learning that is networked, open and focused on the web as one of the main drivers for progress and new opportunities in the world of today. In order to structure, visualize and promote digital literacy Mozilla has started working on what they call a web literacy map, and the idea is that this map can be used both by individuals and organizations as a way of defining what needs to be done in order to fill in the digital literacy gaps for anyone who want to explore, create and share things on the web.
- As we have seen, one of the learning principles of connected learing is that it is academically oriented. That means that it puts a strong emphasis on motivation, participation, and the recognition of skills. Mozilla Open Badges are a way to put this into practice. They are a new way to accredit and verify learning. The Open Badges project project was initiated by Mozilla, but it works openly with other organizations and individuals in the Badge Alliance Network. Their purpose is “to build and support an open badging ecosystem, with a focus on shared values including openness, learner agency and innovation. The badging idea is based upon the presumption that both informal and formal learning achievements need to be evaluated and taken into consideration as parts of a persons backpack of visible skills and competencies. Digital badges is still an experimental project, and there are som technical issues to be solved before it can become a wide spread tool for recognition of skills, but hopefully within a few years more and more learning institutions will join the project and give digital badges a more solid ground.
