Greetings from OSS

By: Randall Packer |

Hi Everyone! I hope your summer break is going well and that your FYP ideas are percolating. I am writing because we have just implemented notifications for OSS. This means that when you post an update about your FYP work, everyone in this group will receive a notice. This may seem not seem particularly new or revolutionary, but actually it is very important to the social dynamic and collaborative nature of working together in an online, virtual community.

As you work with Astrid on your FYP projects, I want to encourage you to make good use of OSS. Now that we have notifications, you can post project updates and comments and everyone in your FYP group will know about it. Think of it as a social media system where you can document your ongoing work, provide your fellow students with feedback, and share ideas while they are fresh in your mind. If you start documenting your work now, you will have a record of the entire year of your FYP process. How great is that!

And please feel free to comment on this post if you have any questions or ideas for OSS.

Best, Randall
