James W. McGuffee

James McGuffee is an Associate Professor and Chair of the Computer Science Department at Northern Kentucky University (NKU). The department has over 850 students in five degree programs. The three undergraduate degrees are: computer information technology, computer science, and data science. The two masters degree programs are in computer information technology and computer science.

I am interested in exploring how I may use FOSS and HFOSS to engage students in out-of-class collaborative projects and how FOSS projects can be used to introduce/inspire first semester freshmen to the larger world of computing (beyond the syntax of a first language).

As part of POSSE 2014, I would like to work with the OpenMRS HFOSS community.
