Hi Daniel, When I taught a first year undergraduate course on FOSS the major syllabus topics were:
- Community - Communications - Governance - Issue Tracking - Sustainability - Version Control - Intellectual Property Each student built a case study on a project they were interested in week by week published on Wordpress; e.g. https://pete1124.wordpress.com/ https://thejibrjabr.wordpress.com/ … etc I was planning to put the content for the course on Github, but the Moodle XML export format doesn’t exactly make it very easy… if its of interest I’d be happy to share more! > On 20 Jan 2017, at 22:16, Daniel Ruggeri <drugg...@primary.net> wrote: > > Hi, Phil; > That makes sense and I will update the syllabus to reflect the proper > terminology.
