Undergraduate Experiential Coding Courses: Coiling a Software Client [Abstract]

Aim/Purpose. Courses that include development of complex software projects aim to provide career-like experiences prior a development-focused capstone. This research shares an international collaborative project (COIL) whereby remote instructor and their students are the clients for undergraduate project-focused coding course. Background. work builds on previous multi-year, Design-Based Research combined educational best practices in with agile. Prior incorporated role both client Scrum-master resulted experiencing multiple capstone was conducted two course formats: synchronous online person. There remains challenge incorporating real client. The complexities challenges providing settings well documented; attempts class setting have been unsuccessful. Involvement collaborations known as COIL formed foundation this exploratory study, provided experience. Methodology. pilot study examines homogenous quasi-experimental population consisting technology taking required Validation is obtained through small size, resulting close interactions between respondents instructor, interview-like settings, immersive data capture. modality Traditional Online, were traditional campus option be classroom; however, delivery synchronous-remote. involved enrolled United States developers, working who English at German University.
