One of the fundamental topics in the education of students enrolled in computer‐related degrees is that of Boolean algebra. This is because it allows the expression of several problems related to digital design, artificial intelligence, databases, compilers, and formal languages, among others, as a sequence of Boolean operations and variables, which can be dealt with by using Boolean algebra methods...
In this article, a methodology to construct educational video games in software engineering is presented. The methodology is an adaptation from the standard ISO/IEC 29110. Using the methodology, one educational video game named Alphaspot was developed to facilitate the learning of the kernel Alphas of the Essence. Some practitioners working at one software entity tested it.
The evaluation of educational approaches is frequently challenging as it involves humans and requires the consideration of several angles depending on the educational objectives. On occasions, these objectives involve academic and industrial environments, thus implying additional challenges. Education in Global Software Development (GSD) has recently became important for companies that offer GSD training...
Universities are starting to offer courses in Global Software Development (GSD) as a way to prepare future practitioners for challenges found in organizational settings. Companies also provide GSD training especially to new recruits who might lack skills in how to effectively communicate with people from different cultures and different first languages. However this training is costly and not necessarily...
The need for universities to provide their students with theoretical lessons and practical training in GSD has led to the development of new training schemes. Most of these consist of involving distant students from different cultures in the development of software projects in order to allow them to confront similar problems to those that occur in real environments. This, however, is not always possible...
In recent years, the evolution of Global Software Development (GSD) has grown both rapidly and significantly, and although the efficiency of this new type of development has been proven, some challenging issues must still be confronted. Of all these, our research line is focused on designing the specific training that members of virtual teams must receive. Universities and companies therefore need...
