Software developer must provide methodical competences as well as social skills. However, standard teaching concepts are often not suitable to impart that knowledge. We introduce an agile concept based on a challenge of industrial style software projects, where students autonomously train desirable competences and skills. Written exams are replaced with a quality assurance of the projects and t...

To-date, there is no evidence that individual cognitive learning styles are related to modeling ability in novice systems analysts. The results of this study indicate that in teaching functional requirement techniques, novices with abstract learning styles perform as well as those with concre...

This paper discusses student behaviour and in particular focuses on their use of resources designed to help them learn.
