Pathways Model Workshop 2016
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 out comes that can move a student from entry knowledge to HFOSS participation.
Location: Nassau Community College, Garden City, NY.
Date and Time: 6:00 p.m. Thursday February 4th through lunchtime Saturday February 6th
