Case Studies: Meetings

Wednesday, June 18, 2003, Torgersen 3180 (1:10-2:00 pm)

• Attendees: Jack, Con, Jonathan
• Con discussed his effort to summarize the overall results of last month's workshop.
• This chart was originally proposed by Jonathan. It shows how this project maps to a depiction of overall teaching environment. Highlighted boxes are part of this project.

• At this point Con has combined several sources of workshop notes into a single topical structure. It still needs work to take out redundancies and futher consolidate and refine the overall topics. The areas with the most interest were:
  • Support for specific instructional goals
  • Sharing ideas and approaches
  • Changes to the case library (function and content)
  • Activities
  • Evaluation
  • Project as a community and its supporting web site
• Jack suggested we continue to develop this outline and then work it up as a technical report to document the projects future as a requirements specification. This could possibly lead a journal paper.
  • Rough outline:
    • Goals
    • What we did
    • Workshop
    • State of the art
    • Requirements
    • Projects/Modules to complete requirements
    • Roles
  • Could be publishede in CS Education Journal (ACM), CS Education (independent), or any of the education and learning journals
  • Interesting viewpoints include:
    • Distributed course creation
    • Distributed project methodologies
• No follow-up meeting was scheduled.
• We need an FAQ about how this project will be managed and what relationships will exist after Jack & Mary Beth move to Penn State [Action: Con]
