Classes at every participating institution will join a central, live-streamed e-learning lecture each week for 14 or 15 weeks. The lecture will then be recorded, and made available for later viewing for students not available at the time of broadcasting. The lecture will be presented at a different participating institution each week — institutes could opt-in to host lectures if they possess the sufficient infrastructure required to broadcasting the lecture to other participants. | |||
Institutions could opt-in for a laboratory class, following the lecture, in which students can get hands-on experience in the topic previously discussed in the lecture. All institutions are provided with some Firefox OS devices (whether or not they opt-in for the lab class), that they could use to provide testing devices for the Firefox OS course's attendees. Laboratory course attendees could get help from instructors joining remotely (via TeamViewer) or locally (from volunteer lecturers who already graduated the course on previous semesters). | |||
Before the end of semester, students are expected to provide an application created for Firefox OS as their output requirement, and will be graded according to the sophistication and number of features used in said app. Users need to submit completed applications to the Marketplace, and after successful review, a raffle will be held to give out some Firefox OS devices to those who completed marketplace review - this is to motivate completed apps showing up in the Marketplace, even after the semester grading has taken place. | |||
