James W. McGuffee

James McGuffee is an Associate Professor and Chair of the Computer Science Department at Northern Kentucky University (NKU). NKU is located approximately 5 miles south of downtown Cincinnati. The Computer Science Department at NKU 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.
