OULDI applied to the design of an experimental software engineering

course

Professional master in software engineering to be developed by a consortium of Brazilian institutions

Educators support

Student support

Course design

•  Curriculum GSWE-2009

•  Explore Web 2.0 resources on the task versus around the task.

Customised OER for SE

The course: Experimental Software Engineering (ESE)

�  It is a relevant subarea of the software engineering discipline.

�  It aims to provide evidence of the validity of software engineering methods and tools, in particular, novel approaches proposed by research groups.

�  It has strong research groups in Brazil. �  It is an important topic of a postgraduate software

engineering programme where students may propose new approaches, and therefore need to learn how to provide evidence of their feasibility.

Experimental Software Engineering (ESE)

�  SE experiments require human participation – it is a social process.

�  Samples require advanced skill and practical experience. �  Experiments have been made with small samples, e.g. 3

– 8 individuals. �  Samples usually include academics (postgraduate

students), often from the same place.

Support ESE courses with a group of experiment participants using social networks

OULDI

�  It is a learning design approach produced within a research project led by IET (http://ouldi.open.ac.uk), funded by JISC (2008).

�  Developed a set of concepts together with computer-supported tools that allow the explicit representation of a course design and provide mechanisms to foster sharing of material and collaboration amongst course team members.

ESE design process

Determine objectives Think about four meta-aspects:

“Guidance and Support”; “Content and Activities”; “Communication

and Collaboration”; and, “Reflection and Demonstration”.
