We spent a bulk of Q1 researching, developing and testing a new site that will serve as a hub for all Mozilla Learning Networks initiatives. The site, which will live at teach.mozilla.org, is on track for a soft launch in mid-April. This is the first time we’ll have a dedicated site that integrates our full offering. In Q2, we'll scope and start to build a directory for our community to more easily connect with each other based on their expertise and interests, and will add more dynamic content to the site, i.e. blogs, curriculum, community features.
