View source for Stage 2 Activities/Stage 3 Planning Ushahidi-20160616

== Group Participants == 
Alan, John, Ying, Leo, Jonathan, Janet

* Alan used Ushahidi in a mobile dev capstone last year.
* John is teaching a mobile dev course this fall: SE, Android, HCI, HFOSS
* Ying is teaching SE, a course with an existing syllabus, this fall.
* Jonathan might have an independent study student do this in the fall. 
* Janet might too, depending on what she decides to do with her spring SE course.
* Leo might use in extra-curricular activities.

== Planning an Initial HFOSS Learning Activity ==
Please discuss and record your group's approach for an initial learning activity.  When you have a good draft description of the learning activity using the sections below, you could create a learning activity page for it by copying the [[Learning Activity Format with Directions]].

=== Course targeted for the activity ===

Any course using Ushahidi in depth

=== Brief description of the activity ===

Deploy & customize Ushahidi

=== Time you expect the HFOSS activity to take ===
e.g. # classes, # homework assignments, # lab activities, etc.
Whether the activity will be completed in class or out of class

* Two weeks 
* Start in class, finish out of class, at least one more class period to address questions/issues before due date
* Do this twice; Once to deploy and once to customize

=== Relationship of this activity to course goals/objectives ===

* Read, understand, follow documentation [comm, tech]
* Practice a workflow [tech]
* Understand the purpose and use of the project [cult]
* Understand relationship between platform and domain [des]
* Learn XML, JSON [tech]
* Prior to a deeper engagement with Ushahidi

=== What students will submit upon completion of the activity ===

* A URL for a deployment
* Answers to POGIL questions (Google docs shows history)
* For a team activity: Individual reflection, summarize own and others' contributions

=== Approach for assessing the student work ===

* URL indicates successful install
* Rubric to assess thoughtfulness of POGIL results
* Evidence that all team members contributed and learned (Google docs history)

=== Questions or concerns you have about implementing your activity ===

* How should students deploy Ushahidi?
* How do we customize a Ushahidi installation? What technical skills are required?
* How do we write good POGIL exercises?
* Is this a team, pair, or individual activity?
* How much time does this really need?
* For customization, do we tell students the domain? The requirements?
* Google Maps or OpenStreetMap?
* How do you use Ushahidi?
* Can we get a copy of Lori's similar (but not identical) assignment?
* Can we get a copy of the guides that Alan's students created? His syllabus?

=== Support you will need to implement your activity ===

* Should be able to do this informed by existing public documentation.
* Might need support from Ushahidi team. Might want to talk to them ahead of time.
** Robby might be able to help students from one class, but what if many classes are doing this activity at the same time?
* Students need computers in class.
* Students need a free heroku account.

== Planning Stage 3 Activities ==

=== Meetings ===
Will arrange an IRC chat this via doodle.
