- Welcome back :)
- How do you design and facilitate a workshop?
- Project: The 'open' app
- Workshop: Exploring Mozilla themes and designing workshop
- What's the plan?
- What can you learn?
- Rules of the road
- Keeping a journal to record your creative process is extremely important. Don't let your ideas and thoughts fade away! Think of your blog as your digital sketchbook (more on that here). We ask you to blog regularly and we'll check that you do it every week.
- Peer learning: one of the most effective ways to learn something is to teach it to someone else. During this unit you'll be sharing your skills and knowledge in class, leading mini-tutorials and moderating debates. Starting with your homework for next week!
The goals for this session
- To get a broad understanding of the brief
- To being to understand the different phases in a workshop
- To explore the different themes from Mozilla
- To start understanding the problem you would like to solve with your app
The questions you should be able to answer at then of this session
- When are the deadlines?
- When is the Mozilla festival?
- What is the workshop?
- How did you feel about this session?
- What is your biggest learning?
There are 4 parts to the brief that you will need to answer.
-
In class you will design and make a prototype that helps to break down some of the barriers to the 5 spaces that Mozilla explores: Decentralization, Digital Inclusion, Digital Inclusion, Privacy and Security and Web Literacy.
-
Collectively you will prepare and make a prototype web platform for the Mozilla festival that shares your concepts and ideas will the festival’s attendees.
-
Collectively you will design and lead a workshop for the Mozilla festival that will showcase your work and gather further insights around the open web from workshop attendees.
-
After the festival you will gather the insights and start building your ideas with advanced web technologies!
In a workshop there are several different ingredients that need to be included.
The first phase is about opening the people minds to new possibilities and visions. You can think of this phase as the big bang! The opening is not the time for critical thinking or scepticism; its the phase for blue-sky thinking, brainstorming, energy and optimism.
In the second phase the energy has been set and the ideas should be flowing in the room. This is where you can test you ideas and see old things in a new light. Shift, sift and test things, and so on.
When you have reached the final phase you would want to start to move towards conclusions and decisions. This is the moment when you start to look at your feedback and ideas with a critical eye. You can not purpose every opportunities, therefore, this stage allows you to make decisions.

In class you will design and make a protoype that helps to break down some of the barriers to the 5 spaces that Mozilla explores: Decentralization, Digital Inclusion, Open Innovation, Privacy and Security and Web Literacy. You will choose either one or two of those spaces for your prototype to tackle.
