Towards the evaluation of open educational resources for learning software engineering

Abstract:

Educational resources have been around for quite some time; yet, the growing of internet and the development of information technologies have contributed to their evolution and massive distribution. The present work is in an initial state of a larger-scope project that aims to identify, classify and evaluate open educational resources (OER) useful for self or guided learning of software engineering topics. As a result, a list of OERs addressing topics like requirements, planning, design, testing and refactoring was developed. Moreover, a set of criteria for evaluating such OERs is also proposed for choosing valuable resources, suitable for university courses or training programs. The methodology used in this study can be applied to other OERs and even other disciplines.
