[WikiEducator] Free, Libre, and Open Works In the Curriculum? (advice please)

[Ken Udas]

Open Friends and Colleagues,

I hope that all is well. First, apologies for any cross postings.

Second, I'll just ask the question directly... Does anybody know of any
higher education providers that have included *openness* in their
curriculum?

Third, I would like to mention a project that is underway called “The Free,
Libre, and Open Works Syllabus, or "The FLOW Syllabus",” which is hosted by
the Open Source Initiative (OSI). The purpose of the project is to adapt,
develop and disseminate modular learning resources to help managers of
projects, portfolios, organizations or consortia gain an advanced
understanding of strategies, processes and methods to optimize value, to
control costs, and to manage risk through effective coordination,
resourcing and governance of Free/Libre/Open Works (FLOW). The Educators
Working Committee is one of four planned committees within the broader
project and is concerned with promoting FLOW in education, sharing FLOW
resources with teachers for use in classes and facilitating the open
exchange of teaching practice and course materials related to FLOW, and
enhancing The FLOW Syllabus as a resource to support all of these efforts.

About the "FLOW" acronym

http://wiki.opensource.org/bin/Projects/About+FLOW+and+RENT+Relationships


The Educators Working Committee is starting its effort by trying to
identify college and university programs and courses with components that
explicitly educate about FLOW concepts, methods and processes. Although we
are happy to learn about any work in any discipline, we are focusing on
computer science, programming, and project management.


We intend to learn more about how FLOW topics are introduced to the
curriculum, who has them embedded, and how the topics are embedded. We are
soliciting any information about

- surveys that have been conducted to learn about FLOW in the curriculum,
- survey instruments that have been developed for this purpose, and
- individual experiences embedding FLOW in courses.


We are also soliciting interest in participation in enhancing the FLOW
Syllabus and/or participating in the FLOW Educator's Working Committee. If
you would like to learn more feel free to visit the support sites as linked
above, or email me at ***@usq.edu.au
