Pathways Model Workshop
Overview: This workshop will bring together members of Humanitarian Free and Open Source Software (HFOSS) project communities and faculty members to review a draft model of learning pathways for student involvement in HFOSS. The model defines and sequences student learning activities that prepare students for successful HFOSS participation. Workshop attendees will focus on refining this model, including identification of entry-level knowledge, establishment of knowledge and skills required for HFOSS participation, and definition of learning outcomes that can move a student from entry-level knowledge to HFOSS participation.
Location: Nassau Community College, Garden City, NY.
Date and Time: 5:00 p.m. Thursday February 4th through lunchtime Saturday February 6th
Goals
The goals of this workshop include:
- Foster collaboration between universities and HFOSS communities with regard to education of potential contributors
- Discuss and analyze needs and challenges from each perspective (academic and HFOSS project)
- Identify particular opportunities to improve success rates of potential contributors
- Review assumptions about entry knowledge of students
- Refine the definition of knowledge and skills required for HFOSS participation
- Verify the existing pathway model draft
- Is the structure of the model appropriate?
- Are there alternative implementations of the model?
- Is the model:
- Understandable
- Usable
- Reflective of reality
- Rrefine the list of paths proposed to be implemented first using the model
- Which paths are most approachable by students?
- Which paths are most valuable to the HFOSS community?
- To what extent can paths be implemented as general activities vs activities specific to a project?
- What are the strengths and weaknesses of the model?
- Identify the existing resources to support learning
- Are there existing learning activities that can map to paths or steps in a path?
Agenda
Tasks/Questions:
- What infrastructure are we using?
- Dropbox?
- Wiki - other than this overview?
- Titanpad?
- What materials need to be prepared?
- Need an evaluation form for pathways
- Need a template in which to create pathways. Is this the Use Case format that Stoney presented in Verify Bug2 V0.1?
- Somehow we need a way to capture the paths and steps in a common space so that we can flesh out the model jointly.
- Is the set of tasks identified in the Team Meeting Notes sufficient?
- Should we put that set of tasks in a separate location?
