Web Literacy Map
The Web Literacy Map is the collection of skills and competencies that the Mozilla community believe it’s important to pay attention to if you want to get better at reading, writing and participating on the web.
Strands
The Web Literacy Map is made up of three strands.
Each strand has a number of competencies, which are further sub-divided into skills:
Exploring
Navigating the Web
-
Navigation: Using software tools to browse the Web
-
Web Mechanics: Understanding the Web ecosystem
-
Search: Locating information, people and resources via the Web
-
Credibility: Critically evaluating information found on the Web
-
Security: Keeping systems, identities, and content safe
Building
Creating for the Web
-
Composing for the Web: Creating and curating content for the Web
-
Remixing: Modifying existing Web resources to create something new
-
Design & accessibility: Creating universally effective communications through Web resources
-
Coding/scripting: Creating interactive experiences on the Web
-
Infrastructure: Understanding the Internet stack
Connecting
Participating on the Web
- Sharing: Providing access to Web resources
- Collaborating: Creating Web resources with others
- Community participation: Getting involved in Web communities and understanding their practices
- Privacy: Examining the consequences of sharing data online
- Open practices: Helping to keep the Web democratic and universally accessible
Web literacy is about more than just coding.
- The web literacy standard covers every part of web literacy—from learning basic coding skills to taking action around privacy and security.
- We've chosen a simple grid-like structure to represent the strands and competencies.
- It ensure that it is easy to read and compare/contrast with existing resources.
- Knowledge should be accompanied by the ability to do something new.
