Hjelsvold, Rune; Mishra, Deepti – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2019
Global software engineering (GSE) courses traditionally require cooperation between at least two universities so as to provide a distributed development environment to the students. In this study, we explore an alternative way to organize a global software engineering course where students work on open source software development (OSSD) projects…

Pappas, Ilias O.; Giannakos, Michail N.; Jaccheri, Letizia; Sampson, Demetrios G. – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2017
This study uses complexity theory to understand the causal patterns of factors that stimulate students' intention to continue studies in computer science (CS). To this end, it identifies gains and barriers as essential factors in CS education, including motivation and learning performance, and proposes a conceptual model along with research…

Wang, Alf Inge – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2011
This article describes an extensive evaluation of introducing a game project to a software architecture course. In this project, university students have to construct and design a type of software architecture, evaluate the architecture, implement an application based on the architecture, and test this implementation. In previous years, the domain…
