Creating synergy between usability courses and open source software projects

Abstract: In this paper, we discuss our experience in offering a usability course with projects taken from an active open source software development project. We describe what was done in the class inside the larger context of the usability of open source software. We conclude with an invitation for others to adopt this model and use it for their own purposes.

“…An upsurge in the number of green consumers has increased the demand for green products which has allowed these businesses to thrive (Huang & Kung, 2011;Molina-Azorín, Claver-Cortés, López-Gamero, & Tarí, 2009 Environmental knowledge involves the information an individual has to determine and confirm the issues concerning the environment, which, in turn, gives the consumer the ability to transform such knowledge into an influential behavior. Environmental knowledge is the consumers' evaluation of, and reaction to, the process of consumption behavior and its effects on the environment as well as the demand for green products (Haryanto, 2014;Hepting, Peng, Maciag, Gerhard, & Maguire, 2008;Laroche & Bergeron, 2001). Environmental knowledge contributes to environmental attitude and environmental behavior (Kollmuss & Agyeman, 2002).…”

“…Several studies address how to identify or choose adequate projects by providing comments, directions or even a list of established criteria (Buchta, Petrenko, Poshyvanyk, & Rajlich, 2006;Ellis, Hislop, Chua, and Dziallas, 2011;Ellis, Morelli, de Lanerolle, Damon, & Raye, 2007;Gehringer, 2011;German, 2005;Hepting, Peng, Maciag, Gerhard, & Maguire, 2008;Jaccheri & ∅sterlie, 2007;Kamthan, 2007;Meneely, Williams, and Gehringer, 2008;Papadopoulos et al, 2012;Sowe & Stamelos, 2007;Sowe et al, 2006;Stroulia, Bauer, Craig, Reid, & Wilson, 2011;Toth, 2006). However, two studies are devoted only to the process of selecting OS projects.…”

“…Elaborating on this facet, we uncovered that Hepting et al (2008) use a predefined project for their students, although, in the end, authors decided to allow students to select a project that better matches their interests in future editions of the course. In another example, although students could freely choose their projects, they appreciated the instructor's help on this task .…”

“…They have also been used to teach basic and advanced programming and software development concepts. These works have adopted varied approaches for project selection; allowing students to choose with or without guidance [30, 24,18]; selection by faculty from familiar projects [16,8,21,22], or popular ones such as Apache and Mozilla [4], JUnit [3], software studio [22], or pertaining to specific domains such as Web and Web 2.0 [34] or tools [5]; software written in graduate and upper division courses [17,11,10,20], and soliciting projects from academia and industry [32]. Meneeley et al [20] also faced disappointing results at Sourceforge when searching subject to similar criteria.…”
