Planning an Initial HFOSS Learning Activity

Please discuss and record your group's approach for an initial learning activity. When you have a good draft description of the learning activity using the sections below, you could create a learning activity page for it by copying the Learning Activity Format with Directions.

Course targeted for the activity

Advanced Courses

D. Michael Franklin - Database Systems

Hossain Shahriar - Electronic Health Record System

Brief description of the activity

Mike - I would like to take the existing database course and add two projects: 1. a large dataset project; 2. an open source repository interaction

Hossain - In this course, I am planning to introduce an assignment on certification compliance of Open Source EHR software, where an Open Source EHR to be assessed for ONC certification criteria, and suggest changes/request features to the community. The assignment to be included with learning modules on github, copyright, certification criteria.

Time you expect the HFOSS activity to take

e.g. # classes, # homework assignments, # lab activities, etc.

Whether the activity will be completed in class or out of class

Mike: the projects will both be completed outside of class, but with some work time inside of class. The projects will take at least 4 weeks each.

Hossain: sample activities may include lectures on HFOSS, learning Git, exploring OpenMRS project, setup (if not too time consuming), testing software for certification, make recommendation, and communicating with the community. Expecting 2-3 weeks of time.

Relationship of this activity to course goals/objectives

Mike: this will meet two the course objective that deal with interacting with data sets and understanding the place of databases in the larger world.

Hossain : to be able to contribute to Open Source project related to HIT.

What students will submit upon completion of the activity

Mike: they will submit: 1. finished analysis and a report on working with the dataset, a reflection on how the process work; 2. Log of activities, interactions, etc., to show sufficient participation within community

Hossain: a set of results complying with certification or not, and experience with interacting with HFOSS community.

Approach for assessing the student work

Mike: the projects will be graded on merit based on the student's efforts with deference given to accomplishments.

Hossain: completing 3-4 test criteria, posting an implementation or solution and interacting in the Github.

Questions or concerns you have about implementing your activity

Hossain: list of prereq knowledge, such as intro to github, copyright, HFOSS.

Support you will need to implement your activity

Planning Stage 3 Activities

Meetings

Hossain: meeting once per week for 3-4 weeks. Meet on IRC (e.g., using fossserv channel)
