项目摘要

Free and open source software (FOSS) is created by individuals and organizations that make the resulting software freely available for anyone to use, study, modify, or re-distribute. FOSS has become a major part of the software industry and is producing many world-class products. Among these products are Humanitarian Free and Open Source Software products (HFOSS) that create social benefit in areas such as disaster relief, economic development, and health care.Experience with undergraduate participation in HFOSS demonstrates a potential to motivate students, create excellent learning opportunities, and attract and retain female students in computing disciplines. However, many instructors need professional development and a supporting community to bring HFOSS into their classes. The Open Source Faculty Expertise (OpenFE) project is expanding the community of faculty with expertise in HFOSS and is also creating, organizing, and evaluating learning materials needed to integrate HFOSS into computing curricula in diverse settings including community colleges. OpenFE is building on prior NSF-funded work to reach a larger and more diverse student population. Group informatics is being tested as an approach for creating and supporting instructor learning groups. OpenFE is also incorporating FOSS community learning strategies such as Legitimate Peripheral Participation to create an innovative application of professional learning strategies to undergraduate computing education.OpenFE is a collaborative project involving Drexel University, Western New England University and Nassau Community College.

免费和开源软件（FOSS）是由个人和组织创建的，这些软件使所得软件可免费使用，任何人都可以使用，学习，修改或重新分发。 FOSS已成为软件行业的主要组成部分，并正在生产许多世界一流的产品。这些产品包括人道主义和开源软件产品（HFOSS），这些产品在救灾，经济发展和医疗保健等领域创造社会利益。经验丰富的本科参与HFOSS表现出了激励学生，创造出色的学习机会，并吸引和保留女性学生在计算学科中的潜力。但是，许多讲师需要专业发展和支持社区才能将HFOSS带入他们的课程。开源教师专业知识（OPENFE）项目正在扩大具有HFOSS专业知识的教师社区，并且还正在创建，组织和评估所需的学习材料，以将HFOSS整合到包括社区大学在内的不同环境中的计算课程中。 OpenFe正在以前由NSF资助的工作进行建设，以达到更大，更多样化的学生人数。正在测试小组信息学作为创建和支持教师学习小组的一种方法。 OpenFe还纳入了FOSS社区学习策略，例如合法的外围参与，以创建专业学习策略在本科计算教育上的创新应用。
