The title of this post is also the title of a presentation I’m giving at the Literacy Research Association conference next week. The conference has the theme ‘The Dialogic Construction of Literacies’ – so this session is a great fit. It’s been organised by Ian O'Byrne and Greg McVerry, both researchers and Mozilla contributors.

I’m cutting short my participation in the Mozilla work week in Portland, Oregon next week to fly to present at this conference. This is not only because I think it’s important to honour prior commitments, but because I want to encourage more literacy researchers to get involved in developing the Web Literacy Map.

I’ve drafted the talk in the style in which I’d deliver it. The idea isn’t to read it, but to use this to ensure that my presentation is backed up by slides, rather than vice-versa. I’ll then craft speaker notes to ensure I approximate what’s written here.

I’d very much appreciate your feedback. Here’s the specific things I’m looking for answers to:

• Gaps - what have I missed?
• Structure - does it 'flow’?
• Red flags - is there anything in there liable to cause problems/issues?

I’ve created a thread on the #TeachTheWeb discussion forum for your responses - or you can email me directly: doug@mozillafoundation.org

Thanks in advance! And remember, it doesn’t matter how new you are to the Web Literacy Map or the process of creating it. I’m interested in the views of newbies and veterans alike.
