New challenges and demands on software engineering education are presented by rapid changes and increased complexity of software systems. This paper presents the VisAr3D environment that has been developed as an innovative proposal to be introduced in the classroom to provide a 3D visualization of UML models. The user is invited to intuitively understand the model elements in this 3D environment....
Learning processes and learning mechanisms are constantly evolving. The traditional classroom boards are replaced by Internet technologies, while the old handwritten notes are progressing to electronic notes. Through this evolution offered by new technologies, such as Web 2.0 and mobile and ubiquitous computing, learning agents need to adjust to this new reality. Distance, electronic, and mobile learning...
Visualization stimulates the cognitive capacity of humans and facilitates the understanding of a subject. It performs a crucial role in teaching software architecture. As systems become more complex, new education proposals have been introduced in the classroom, especially those that make teaching more attractive to students. This paper presents the VisAr3D approach which was designed to provide a...
Creation, interpretation, and evolution of models and diagrams are activities commonly performed in software projects, and the teaching of such activities is fundamental for software engineering education. However, it is difficult to see the changes made in model corrections, evolutions, or maintenance done by the student, as well as by the teacher, comparing templates and different solutions. In...
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have evolved from primary military applications into everyday life. Sensor networks rapidly began spreading to civil applications like environment monitoring, education, intrusion detection, motion sensing, gaming experience, among others. Wireless sensor networks are thought to lead to a world plenty of smart objects in the future. In addition, gaming is a widely recognized...
