H2: Students in **WordPress Credits** will report stronger employability outcomes (internships/jobs) than comparable CS/web-design students without contribution-based credit. - H3: **Student Clubs** that are actively connected to local meetups will retain members longer than clubs operating in isolation. - H4: Localized (translated) versions of WordPress Education materials will significantly increase student participation in non-English-speaking regions. - H5: Clear “how to get involved” pathways reduce the average time from first contact to first contribution. ### 📊 Methodology - For H1–H3: - Collect participation data from campuses, track contribution frequency and retention in Make teams over 12–24 months. - Run surveys and compare cohorts with matched control groups (similar institutions without programs). - For H4: - A/B compare regions before and after localization (sign-ups, event attendance, contributions). - Use analytics and event registration data. - For H5: - Instrument education pages with funnels (view → sign-up → contribution). - Compare conversion and time-to-first-contribution before and after UX/content improvements. ### ❓ Questions - How will WordPress measure the long-term impact of these education programs on project health and diversity? - What support do maintainers need to effectively mentor a growing number of student contributors? - How can Credits’ 150-hour requirement be adapted for different institutional calendars and credit systems? - What safeguards will ensure equitable access for under-resourced institutions and regions? - How will the translation effort be prioritized and sustained over time? ### 🔮 Future Research - Longitudinal tracking of career trajectories for students who participated in WordPress Credits and Campus Connect. - Comparative studies between WordPress Education and other open source education pipelines (e.g., Linux Foundation, Mozilla). - Evaluation of various mentorship models (peer-led vs. maintainer-led vs. faculty-led). - Research into best practices for integrating contribution work into formal assessment and accreditation. - Exploration of micro-credentialing or badges based on specific contribution types. ### 💡 Implications - Practice - Universities can integrate real-world WordPress contributions into coursework, improving portfolios and community ties. - Policy - Institutions may need policies acknowledging open source contribution as academic work. - Security - A larger contributor base including students requires clearer security training and safe scopes. - Education - Demonstrates a scalable model for aligning open source ecosystems with formal learning paths. - Funding - Opens avenues for targeted sponsorship and grants focused on education and capacity-building. ### 🧠 Learning Styles Assessment - Reading level estimate - Roughly high school to early college level; mostly short sentences and concrete concepts. #### 👀 Visual learners -

H2: Students in **WordPress Credits** will report stronger employability outcomes (internships/jobs) than comparable CS/web-design students without contribution-based credit. - H3: **Student Clubs** that are actively connected to local meetups will retain members longer than clubs operating in isolation. - H4: Localized (translated) versions of WordPress Education materials will significantly increase student participation in non-English-speaking regions. - H5: Clear “how to get involved” pathways reduce the average time from first contact to first contribution. ### 📊 Methodology - For H1–H3: - Collect participation data from campuses, track contribution frequency and retention in Make teams over 12–24 months. - Run surveys and compare cohorts with matched control groups (similar institutions without programs). - For H4: - A/B compare regions before and after localization (sign-ups, event attendance, contributions). - Use analytics and event registration data. - For H5: - Instrument education pages with funnels (view → sign-up → contribution). - Compare conversion and time-to-first-contribution before and after UX/content improvements. ### ❓ Questions - How will WordPress measure the long-term impact of these education programs on project health and diversity? - What support do maintainers need to effectively mentor a growing number of student contributors? - How can Credits’ 150-hour requirement be adapted for different institutional calendars and credit systems? - What safeguards will ensure equitable access for under-resourced institutions and regions? - How will the translation effort be prioritized and sustained over time? ### 🔮 Future Research - Longitudinal tracking of career trajectories for students who participated in WordPress Credits and Campus Connect. - Comparative studies between WordPress Education and other open source education pipelines (e.g., Linux Foundation, Mozilla). - Evaluation of various mentorship models (peer-led vs. maintainer-led vs. faculty-led). - Research into best practices for integrating contribution work into formal assessment and accreditation. - Exploration of micro-credentialing or badges based on specific contribution types. ### 💡 Implications - Practice - Universities can integrate real-world WordPress contributions into coursework, improving portfolios and community ties. - Policy - Institutions may need policies acknowledging open source contribution as academic work. - Security - A larger contributor base including students requires clearer security training and safe scopes. - Education - Demonstrates a scalable model for aligning open source ecosystems with formal learning paths. - Funding - Opens avenues for targeted sponsorship and grants focused on education and capacity-building. ### 🧠 Learning Styles Assessment - Reading level estimate - Roughly high school to early college level; mostly short sentences and concrete concepts. #### 👀 Visual learners -
