Abstract

This paper reports the experiences and lessons learned of teaching a global course on software engineering to students in Africa and United States. The paper describes the course content, distributed software development project, the global teaching environment, assessment criteria, and results. Following the summary of the experiences and lessons learned from teaching the global course, we also discuss how to improve the teaching effectiveness of future global courses.

Flipped Teaching in Software Engineering Education.: Results of a Long-Term Study
ECSEE '23: Proceedings of the 5th European Conference on Software Engineering Education

Flipped teaching is an approach which is becoming increasingly popular. There are already various field reports and scientific findings in different educational institutions and subjects. The approach of flipped teaching also appears to be promising in ...
Learning from achievement: scaffolding student projects in software engineering

It has become almost a truism that students learn more from working on projects than from lectures. This is reflected in pedagogical approaches such as Problem-based Learning, Project-based Learning (PBL) and Work-based Learning. A problem in PBL, ...
Improving the PBL method with experiential learning theory in software engineering teaching
SEENG '22: Proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Software Engineering Education for the Next Generation

Context: Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and Experiential Learning Theory (ELT) are convergent active learning approaches widely known for their competent integration between theory and practice. Problem/Objective: However, the usual implementation of PBL ...
