OpenFE Team Meeting

January 4, 2013

This document contains lightly edited notes taken on-the-fly during a team meeting.

Evaluation

Big Picture Goals

  • Lots of students working on HFOSS projects in collaboration with professionals
  • Groups of faculty and students that are core contributors of HFOSS 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

  • Need to be flexible about where students will engage in FOSS during their education.
  • Could be within class but could also be outside 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 small group online activities 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

Project Evaluator: John Sener John brings evaluation experience including serving as evaluator on other NSF projects. Background highlights:

  • On-line education
  • NSF project evaluation including TUES and ATE
  • Background in community colleges
  • SLOAN Consortium
  • View of evaluator as liaison between what was written in the grant and what work actually got carried out.
