I ran a course for one semester on open source for first-year undergraduate students, partly using Karl Fogel’s book and partly lots of OSS Watch material; the student’s course work was focussed on a project of their choice, which they looked at from a range of viewpoints (governance, community, communications, source control etc). You can get an idea of what the course involved from student’s work, which was all on Wordpress: https://pete1124.wordpress.com/ I’ve been meaning to put the whole course on GitHub for a while now - if anyone would be willing to help me port my Moodle course export into content on Github I’d love to make all the materials available!
