OpenFE Team Meeting

January 4, 2013

Who is John Sener?

  • On-line education
  • Evaluates NSF projects - mostly ATE
  • Background in community colleges
  • SLOAN foundation
  • View of evaluator as liaison between what was written in the grant and what work actually got carried out.

Evaluation

  • Big Picture: Lots of students working on HFOSS projects in collaboration with professionals
  • Groups of students that are leaders of FOSS projects

Create a matrix for evaluation:

  1. Key evaluation questions - questions that are on our minds. What is it that we want to know?
  2. Data collection procedures - How do we find this out?
  3. Measures - What are the metrics? How do you know that X has been accomplished?

Comprehensive Model for Faculty Development:

  • How does this map to activities?
  • Developing Comprehensive Model wasn't in the original grant, but it's a product - Related to Task 1.1

Measuring Student Learning and Engagement

  • Not sure where students will engage in FOSS during their education.
  • Could be within class but could also be a class or other extra-curricular activity
  • Need to be able measure outside classroom learning as well as "incidental" learning (i.e., learning that is not directly related to topic in classoorm)
    • Will this type of learning be valued as much as inside classroom?
    • Values in the curriculum models
    • Problem solving
    • Soft skills

Workshop/POSSE:

   Model how faculty can engage students in FOSS

Group Informatics:

   Use trace data and make social sense of it to determine spectrum of success to failure of a community
   When group participants get information about other group participants, that is motivating
   Group informatics works to provide this
  • Looking at 'Evaluation' section of OpenFE Description*
   Keep a log of things we do
   Where? Wiki? Pirate pad?

Goals, Objectives and Tasks:

   If we were creating the proposal now, we would include Objective 3.3  which would include designing and delivering a series of out-of-class/extra-curriculuar activities
   Goals 1.x map into HFOSS Faculty Development Model (new version in Dropbox with components annotated with goals)
