| Title |
An HFOSS Learning Module for a CS2 Course |
|---|---|
| Overview |
Students will learn HFOSS concepts and principles and then perform and document usability tests of the OpenMRS user interface. |
| Prerequisites | |
| Learning Objectives |
After successfully completing this activity, the learner should be able to:

Background
Is there background reading material?
Because we assume students know nothing about HFOSS, we will provide a sequence of readings to give them background knowledge. The background reading will start with articles describing:
- what open source is
- the concept of community
- the various ways in which one can contribute
- the concepts of issues, bugs, and tickets
- (maybe other things we will discover as we work this out)
Are there other activities the student should have done first?
Students will not have to do any activities prior to the assigned ones.
What is the rationale for this activity?
Students in a typical CS2 course have little or no knowledge of FOSS or HFOSS and only elementary coding and software design ability, and do not necessarily know the programming languages in which various (H)FOSS projects are written, but we would like to give them a sufficiently interesting and productive experience in HFOSS so that they will be motivated to become more active in HFOSS projects as they progress in their careers. We believe that introducing HFOSS in a CS2 course is beneficial because they will then be prepared and hopefully motivated in more advanced courses to contribute in more advanced ways.
Include helpful hints to faculty here.
