متن کاملA Platform for Teaching Distributed Software Engineering
Many problems in distributed software engineering (DSE) arise, because the participants of a team are not trained in DSE. We present an integrated development environment which supports collaborative working. To introduce such a system in the teaching of software engineering provides for a higher educational standard and for a better awareness of students for the problems involved in distribute...
متن کاملChallenges in Teaching Modeling in Agile Software Engineering Courses
Formal Model Driven Engineering (MDE) can be considered incongruent with Agile methodologies. However, with the advent of Agile, Software Engineering educators have an obligation to teach Agile development. Many instructors do so by employing experiential learning through Agile classrooms and projects. Teaching formal MDE and convincing students of its benefits can be challenging in such enviro...
متن کاملExperiences in Teaching eXtreme Programming in a Distance Learning Program
As university-level distance learning programs become more and more popular, and software engineering courses incorporate eXtreme Programming (XP) into their curricula, certain challenges arise when teaching XP to students who are not physically co-located. In this paper, we present our experiences and observations from managing such an online software engineering course, and describe some of t...
