Design and Development of an Algorithm for Dynamic Assessment of the Learning Style of Software Engineering Students

Software Engineering courses are core elements of the Computer Science curricula. While the main aim of such courses is to give students practical industry-relevant “software engineering” in the large experience, often such courses fall short of this important target due to lack of industrial experience and support infrastructure. Therefore, it is necessary to design and develop better infrastructure support for teaching or learning such courses and this would benefit instructors and students world over. This aims to create a knowledge and tool infrastructure for the benefit of instructors and students in Software engineering courses. Thus, the system embodies a teaching and learning environment that blends collaboration, simulation, knowledge sharing, and industrial software projects. This paper discusses the need for the learning style in software engineering education and proposes an algorithm for dynamically assessing the learning style of the learner and channels the learners to choose appropriate learning materials based on their learning style..
