Planning an Initial HFOSS Learning Activity

Please discuss and record your group's approach for an initial learning activity. When you have a good draft description of the learning activity using the sections below, you could create a learning activity page for it by copying the template here: Learning Activity Template

Course targeted for the activity

Computer Science 2

Brief description of the activity

Homework assignment where the students will assess the interface usability and record problems, suggestions for improvement, etc. Pre-req:

• need an introductory understanding of FOSS
• limited knowledge of electronic medical records

Outcome:

• provide feedback on the usability of the interface to the community

Time you expect the HFOSS activity to take

e.g. # classes, # homework assignments, # lab activities, etc.

• 1 homework - usability tests (presumes a 1-hour description of problem and requisite knowledge)

Whether the activity will be completed in class or out of class

• out of class activity

Relationship of this activity to course goals/objectives

• improve technical communication skills (both oral and written)
• enhance the ability to assess software quality

What students will submit upon completion of the activity

Students will submit:

• summary of bugs, enhancements, features (with the intent of contributing back to the community)
• description of the process they used to test the interface
• feedback on what they learned from completing the exercise

Approach for assessing the student work

• based upon the process and the ability to communicate the process in a written form
• not based upon the number of bugs, enhancements, etc. found or suggested

Questions or concerns you have about implementing your activity

• what is going to motivate students to test thoroughly?
• how much domain knowledge is necessary?
• much time will it take to thoroughly test?

Support you will need to implement your activity
