Learning for learning's sake is a luxury few can afford.
Learning needs to translate into opportunities.
• Strengthen and complement (not replace) existing institutions
PATHWAYS TO FORMAL CREDIT
ALTERNATIVE CERTIFICATION
• Open sourcing accreditation• Fill the gaps• Involve the community
OPEN WEB DEVELOPERS
“I have been mentoring young folks who want to learn Web design and what I have discovered is
that there are literally NO college level curricula in my area that would teach them Open Web
technologies. Their options are either to learn Web technologies that are 4-5 years behind
what's out now, or to take a degree in computer science. I would like to see this project succeed because I believe there is a great need for it.”
OPEN WEB DEVELOPERS
• Training & certification• Free & open community curriculum• Project based peer-learning–“Mashing up the open web”
• Assessment of hacker's disposition• First courses start September 2010
• DESIGN THE CURRICULUM• ENDORSE THE CERTIFICATE• LEAD A COURSE• JOIN DRUMBEAT
