[TOS] Field Report

[Jim Bowring]

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.

If humanity is to survive aboard our planet, it must become universally
literate and preoccupied with inherently cooperative Comprehensive
Anticipatory Design Science in which every human is concerned with
accomplishing the comfortably sustainable well-faring of all other humans.
