Project Timeline

This is our preliminary schedule for the summer organized by week.  It contains what we have worked on so far as well as major deadlines that we have set for ourselves.  This schedule isn't set in stone - as the summer progresses we will surely modify it.  It is more meant to give us a sense of what we want to accomplish and how we are going to do it!

By week:

4/24:

• Initial meeting
• establish high level project goal: make it easier to teach robotics with turtlebot

4/28: 

•  Preliminary research - start looking through online courses and tutorials (ROS and TurtleBot) → start thinking of ways to index courses (metadata)
•  Set up blog
• Start thinking about how to engage the ros-sig-education. (What to send out? What to ask community for? How would ongoing collaboration work?)

5/5:

•  Contact education SIG collaborators - explain project and invite input 
• Email with Bill Smart - see if we can collaborate with his proposal: we set up infrastructure, he and other educators fill in the course content 
• First draft project timeline by Friday
•  look into Git web repo as possible platform for website and produce example website (Tully)
•  Start writing down taxonomy/indexing for courses by end of week

5/12:

•  Start looking for other robotics (or just online) course resources
• ex: Khan Academy
• More feedback 

• first draft of initial indices for categorizing courses and/or course material - May 16
