Hi Emma,

By what date do you need this?  Classes start on Monday and I've been just slammed for the past week and will be for the next 1.5 weeks.  I really like the work that you're doing and I'm frustrated that I haven't been able to get to it.

Just wanted you to know that I'm paying attention, just trying to figure out how to get dug out from under!

Hi everyone,

At Mozilla we are developing a series of learning modules for our Open Source Club technical students.   the goal is that these modules can be connected into a single course, but can stand alone in a toolkit format<https://toolkit.mozilla.org/>.  It's also a goal to leverage as many existing resources as possible - and I have been going through the TOS resources as part of that.  Leaning towards learning-by-doing/fun and sharing types of assessment.

Before I begin development I wanted to reach out to see if any of you have feedback on the learning outcomes, have any content/learning resources/activities you would like to propose.  You can contribute via comments in these Github issues,<https://github.com/mozilla/open-innovation-curriculum/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22Open+Source+Clubs%22>  which are also linked from this blog post<https://medium.com/@sunnydeveloper/i-need-your-open-source-brain-40086c46facc> - or you can also just add comments to this Google doc<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xmY0ggHK7DqZKYJtFv_HnYPR-hVL2Vl9CZpGtT3s8aI/edit#>.  Of course responding to this email also good - all the things! Basically,  I would so appreciate learning more about your most successful/fun FOSS learning resources.

Finally - I have a meta question (comments welcome in this issue<https://github.com/mozilla/open-innovation-curriculum/issues/26>), about providing real world value, to open educational resources like this.  How do we encourage technical students to fully invest in the learning opportunities presented in one, or a chain of modules ?  One person suggested hosted space, another upstream permissions to a repo, another membership in an organizations repo.  Interested in your experiences here as well

Thanks so much for your time, if you have any to contribute
