Education ClassRoom/Previous Logs/Hybrid Model of Teaching OpenSource
[17:07] <andreasmeiszner> Ok, so shall we start with questions / comments on the suggested hybrid approach to SE. Thus it would be clear to all what it is about?

[17:09] <ericb2> chacha_chaudhry: thanks :)
[17:09] <andreasmeiszner> thx!
[17:09] <chacha_chaudhry> andreasmeiszner: I haven't gone through the approach .. may you explain briefly how it is different from common open source development model.

[17:10] <andreasmeiszner> ok, so basically it is a open approach to courses which is dervived from the way open source communities, but also the web more in general works.

[17:11] <wtebbens> good afternoon all!
[17:11] <andreasmeiszner> hi wouter, welcome!
[17:11] <chacha_chaudhry> wtebbens: hello meeting has already started.
[17:11] <sroy> good evening . it is 21:45 hrs here
[17:11] <andreasma> hi all
[17:11] <wtebbens> hi andreas, sorry I am late (and can only stay for half an hour)
[17:12] <chacha_chaudhry> andreasm wtebbens: we are already following andreasmeiszner .. andreasmeiszner may we continue
[17:12] <andreasmeiszner> the hybrid approach aims to bring together the different involved stakeholders (students & educators from different institutions, open source practitioners & free learners outside of formal education) within a "semi-structured" way
[17:13] <andreasmeiszner> often formal education - even if about open source - follows the traditional "style": closed, isolated, disconnected, static,...
[17:13] <andreasmeiszner> does this still makes sense?
[17:14] <chacha_chaudhry> yep very much.
[17:14] <andreasmeiszner> ok
[17:14] <andreasmeiszner> so just as an example
[17:14] <andreasmeiszner> "learning processess" in open source are often visible and become learning resources for many others
[17:15] <andreasmeiszner> in formal education however - they are normally "lost" or disconnected from learning materials
[17:15] <andreasmeiszner> so this is the learning process side that we e.g. want to adress with the hybrid approach
[17:16] <andreasmeiszner> within an open environment, such as the piloted www.netgeners.net side (still just early playing), the different stakeholders might engage analogue to the way it can be seen in open source
[17:17] <andreasmeiszner> therefore providing a richer learning experience, sharing the burden amongst different institutions on providing basic information and allowing e.g. that contributions to an open source student by student A could be a useful learning resource for students X,Y,Z
