Web Literacy Standard Announced By Mozilla

Posted by Unknown on Monday October 28, 2013 @11:33AM from the required-reading dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Doug Belshaw and Carla Casilli, along with a community of stakeholders, have been working on a specification of skills needed for web literacy. Doug report that Brett Gaylor and Chris Lawrence announced version 1.0 of the spec. In a nutshell it's described as 'A map of the territory for the skills and competencies Mozilla and community think are important to get better at to more effectively read, write & participate on the Web.' Usages include writing curricula influenced by it, and issuing Open Badges that align with it (using the 'alignment' metadata field). Doug also calls for help with localization of the spec into other languages."

  What do I do if I I see someone wearing a 4chan badge? Should I call the police?
  I feel like I should call the police.
