4. Generalized issues derived from JCSE, CC, OO Java, SWPM, Baile Herculane, Romania, 2005 4 Our goal Jointly produce and reuse teaching material (SWENET, JCSE, MuSoft, … ) Our subjects: SE, OO Java, Project Management, CC,... Teaching materials = particular kind of software  expensive, time-consuming to produce –Documents –SW programs  Reuse!

10. Generalized issues derived from JCSE, CC, OO Java, SWPM, Baile Herculane, Romania, 2005 10 Generalized issues 1.Electronic teaching materials: Criteria of good teaching materials (contents, structure, …)? 2.Localization: How to derive national language versions? 3.Flexibility: How to combine and modify existing materials to courses (modules) useful in a particular educational environment? 4.e-Learning style: How to derive materials in an e-learning style from existing materials? 5.Teaching material project management: What are the principles of a cooperative (joint) development of teaching materials?

11. Generalized issues derived from JCSE, CC, OO Java, SWPM, Baile Herculane, Romania, 2005 11 Some of our approaches to these issues 1.Criteria of good teaching materials (contents, structure, …)? –slides – lecture notes –assignments – discussed answers –slide style guides 2.How to derive national language versions? –unified terms / glossary –tool-based localization (S-Bahn Tool) 3.How to combine and modify existing materials to courses (modules) useful in a particular educational environment? –exchangeable case studies –pool of assignments –documented structure of the materials (e.g. dependencies)
