I am Peter Liu. I began teaching C, C++ and Java programming at the School of Computer Studies in September 1998. For my professional development, I want to find out how to teach and learn open source development. It is a privilege and honor for me to get immersed in the open source movement at Seneca.
Jordan has graciously allowed me to go alongside with his Eclipse Web Tools Platform (Eclipse WTP) class (January-April 2009) such that I may have first-hand experience on open-source development. I am excited about immersing myself in this culture of being open in fixing bugs. As suggested by Jordan, I am going to blog what I have experienced in this community as if I were a reporter on the field. What I have experienced for the last two weeks has already affected how I teach JAC444 and BTP400 this semester. Indeed I am using wikis as a teaching and learning tool for the first time in my teaching career...
Time flies. From May to August, Jordan has again graciously allowed me to take part in his second Eclipse WTP class. As far as I'm concerned, the students in his Winter 2009 class accomplished a lot. [1] I'm looking forward to having another adventure with the Eclipse WTP student team.
Time flies again. I am now involved with the Eclipse Linux Tools project. As a result of Andrew Overholt's visit to my Java classes (JAC444) on March 9, 2010, I have created Learning Labs for Eclipse Linux Tools. Even though the JAC444 classes will be over by the end of April, interested students can continue with the activities in the Learning Labs. We will see how things are going to unfold...
