This page contains plans and descriptions of how POSSE folks are involving students in HFOSS. This could be within a classroom, but could also include outside activities such as clubs and events.
Fall 2013
| Instructor | Heidi Ellis |
| Institution | Western New England University |
| Course/Event | CS 490 Software Engineering |
| Audience | Undergraduate Senior CS majors |
| Web Site | [1] Check out the Syllabus link for assignments, etc. |
| HFOSS Project(s) | GNOME Accessibility/MouseTrap |
| Description | This a fairly standard 1-semester Software Engineering course where we cover requirements, design, implement, test, etc. along with some SE management topics. We are using MouseTrap as the semester-long project for which students will create artifacts. |
| Instructor | Peter Bui |
| Institution | University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire |
| Course/Event | IDIS 151 |
| Audience | First Year Non-CS Majors |
| Web Site | [2] Check out the Syllabus link for assignments, etc. |
| HFOSS Project(s) | N/A |
| Description | While not interacting directly with a HFOSS project, the students will be learning about and interacting with open source software. In particular, Lab 0 will involve using IRC (one of the modes of communication in our class), and Lab 5 will involve performing a software scavenger hunt similar to what we did in Phase 1 of POSSE. |
| Instructor | Patti Ordóñez |
| Institution | University of Puerto Rico - Río Piedras |
| Course/Event | CCOM 3030 / CCOM 3034/ Independent study |
| Audience | First Year Non-CS Majors / Second Year CS Majors / Second and Third Year CS Majors |
| Web Site | [3] All the course information is in Moodle, our Learning Management System. |
| HFOSS Project(s) | N/A |
| Description | In CCOM 3030, which is the Introduction to Computer Science, the students will not be interacting with an HFOSS project, but rather learning about and interacting with open source software. They will be writing an essay on the history of computers and their effects in society and we are spending two weeks on FOSS and HFOSS and they will be learning how to use Linux. They will also be doing a software scavenger hunt similar to what we did in Phase 1 of POSSE. In CCOM 3034, which is Data Structures, I am working on getting the students to work with SAHANA and building a search engine for the librarians as their final project. I am going to GHC Open Source Day to get my hands dirty with SAHARA since I didn't do that at POSSE. I am not teaching that class, but I am creating the final project. I also have two students who are doing independent study with me that are working on developing a speech interface using Simon of KDE with the Caribou keyboard of GNOME. The second phase will be to interface these two with an IDE like Eclipse. On the side, I am working to develop a Hackathon in Puerto Rico as a result of meeting Michael Brennan at POSSE. |
