If students have a broad spectrum of study skills, learning will likely be positively affected, since they can adapt the way they learn in different situations. Such study skills can be learned in for example learning-to-learn courses.…
This paper presents an innovative approach to conducting a Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) course, engaging over 80 participants annually. The course is structured around collaborative group assignments, where students utilize…
Computer-based simulation training (CBST) is gaining popularity in a vast range of applications such as surgery, rehabilitation therapy, military applications, and driver/pilot training, as it offers a low-cost, easily-accessible and…
The feedback provided by current testing education tools about the deficiencies in a student's test suite either mimics industry code coverage tools or lists specific instructor test cases that are missing from the student's test suite.…
Current Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based tutoring systems (AI tutors) are primarily evaluated based on the pedagogical quality of their feedback messages. While important, pedagogy alone is insufficient because it ignores a critical…
Dual-submission homework, where students submit work, receive feedback and then revise has gained attention as a way to foster reflection and discourage reliance on online answer repositories. This study analyzes 13 years of exam data from…
Evaluating teaching effectiveness at scale remains a persistent challenge for large universities, particularly within engineering programs that enroll tens of thousands of students. Traditional methods, such as manual review of student…
Providing effective feedback is important for student learning in programming problem-solving. In this sense, Large Language Models (LLMs) have emerged as potential tools to automate feedback generation. However, their reliability and…
Computer aided formative assessment can be used to enhance a learning process, for instance by providing feedback. There are many design choices for delivering feedback, that lead to a feedback strategy. In an informative feedback strategy,…
Nowadays, software is pervasive in our everyday lives. Its sustainability and environmental impact have become major factors to be considered in the development of software systems. Millennials-the newer generation of university…
Large language models(LLMs) like Gemini are becoming common tools for supporting student writing. But most of their feedback is based only on the final essay missing important context about how that text was written. In this paper, we…
Project-based learning (PBL) is a student-centered and learn-by-doing approach that organizes learning around projects. While entrepreneurship and PBL in SE education are thrilling research topics, there seems to be very little work…
Software is a key component of solutions for 21st Century problems. These problems are often "wicked", complex, and unpredictable. To provide the best possible solution, millennial software engineers must be prepared to make ethical…
Computer Science (CS) departments often serve large student populations, making timely academic monitoring and personalized feedback difficult. While the recommended counselor-to-student ratio is 250:1, it often exceeds 350:1 in practice,…
Teaching the software engineers of the future to write high-quality code with good style and structure is important. This systematic literature review identifies existing instructional approaches, their objectives, and the strategies used…
Background: Software project management activities help to introduce software process models in Software Engineering courses. However, these activities should be adequately aligned with the learning outcomes and support student's…
Written reflective practice is a regular exercise pre-service teachers perform during their higher education. Usually, their lecturers are expected to provide individual feedback, which can be a challenging task to perform on a regular…
Often software engineering classes have the student concentrate on designing and planning the project but stop short of actual student team development of code. This leads to criticism by employers of new graduates that they are missing…
A considerable increase in enrollment numbers poses major challenges in course management, such as fragmented information sharing, inefficient meetings, and poor understanding of course activities among a large team of teaching assistants.…
Despite growing global attention to digital accessibility, research from India highlights a significant gap in accessibility training for both computing educators and software professionals. To address this need, we designed and conducted…
