All - I teach a senior-level (spring 2011) course "Software Engineering Practicum" based on the TOS textbook and resources. I first learned of these resources at POSSCON in 2010. This year I brought 27 students to POSSCON for either or both of the Thursday and Friday sessions. Each student was required to identify three presenters they would like to meet and to meet them and blog about their experiences.
I attended the education track sessions, including the TOS sessions. After David Nalley's session on empowering student education - during the Q&A session, I was encouraged to report on my experience teaching open source in this forum by David, Mel Chua, and Leslie Hawthorn. To that end, I direct you to the class wiki, from which you can reach the class website, the student blogs, and the team wikis. This is a first-time work-in-progress and I encourage input to myself and to my students. I intend to build on this model for spring 2012 and beyond. http://csci462-2011.wikispaces.com/ Cheers, Jim Bowring Computer Science College of Charleston 66 George Street Charleston, SC 29424 Google Voice: 843.608.1399 (preferred) Google Email: bowr...@gmail.com Office: JC Long room 222 843.953.0805 http://stono.cs.cofc.edu/~bowring/ bowri...@cofc.edu R.
