LESSEP 2017 - 1
Second Workshop on Using Learning and Engagement Strategies in Software Engineering and Programming Courses

Date: June 2 & June 3, 2017

Location: Florida International University, Miami, FL, USA

Eligibility: Instructors of CS1, CS2, Software Engineering and Software Testing courses.

Schedule: LESSEP-17-1-Schedule

Workshop Focus:

  • Introduce instructors to various learning and engagement strategies (LESs), e.g., collaborative learning, social interaction, gamification, and problem based learning.
  • Introduce instructors to the features of SEP-CyLE – Software Engineering and Programming Cyberlearning Environment that supports student learning.
  • Form a community of instructors that contributes to the development of learning objects (LOs) for Software Engineering and Programming (SEP) courses.

Benefits:

  • Increased knowledge of LESs and how they can be used to improve student learning in SEP courses.
  • Access the learning materials in SEP-CyLE and be able to use the features of SEP-CyLE to support pedagogy.
  • Be part of a community that uses and contributes to the development of learning objects for SEP courses.
  • Be able to conduct experimental studies to determine the impact using LESs and SEP-CyLE will have on student learning and share these results with the CS education community

Support:

The workshop is supported by an NSF IUSE Engaged Student Learning - Design and Development Level II grant (DUE-1525112). We have funds to support travel and lodging for a limited number of persons to attend the workshop.
