  1. Concept of a MultilingualVirtual Classroom Network for Software Engineering Module Katerina Zdravkova Institute of Informatics, Skopje E-mail: Keti@ii.edu.mk

  2. Intention • Common Virtual Classroom for Software Engineering module • Centre Point at HU • Four National Centres: Berlin, Novi Sad, Plovdiv, Skopje • Four National Points: Belgrade (EE & FNS), Kragujevac, Nis

  3. Objectives of MVCN • Current collaboration in SE project • (At least) acceptable infrastructure for distance learning • Centre Points have got sufficient experience in Distance Education • Software Engineering module at HU is established and functions well • Prepared lecture notes

  4. Current state of MVCN • Modern and adaptable SE syllabus • Central site with basic elements • Lecture notes & Power Point slides • Partly translated slides • Defined SE course in new computing curriculum in Novi Sad • Initiated SE course in Skopje

  5. Assignments • Berlin: Finalization of Power Point slides • Novi Sad: Static part of MVCN • Skopje: Dynamic part of MVCN • All partners: • SE course with common syllabus • translation and adaptation of the slides • activation of common SE module (course)

  6. SE syllabus • Active and stable for several years • Covers at least 80% of core lectures according to CC2001 • Gives good theoretical basis for future research and development • Presents many practical aspects of SE • Enriched with many case studies • XCTL control program

  7. Basic links at the central site • Schedule of project development • Overview of the course: basic principles, topics and syllabus • Elements of the course: case studies, slides and common student assignments • SE: literature, F.A.Q., discussion, participants of the project

  8. Links relevant for MVNC • Overview of the course • Elements of the course • SE course in general + important meetings • Bulletin Board • Mailing list • Indicator of site traffic • Joint workshop over the Internet • Links to national pages

  9. Structure of MCVN • Centre point: Berlin • sends information to National Points, supervises and co-ordinates their work • receives new lecture notes from all involved partner institutions • centralized communication between National Points • updates it and fills in new information

  10. Properties of the Centre Point • Static: most contents can be filled in and changed locally • Dynamic: Only the Bulletin Board • Available to everybody, but: • Gives access to some parts only to authorized users • Remark: the access is not guaranteed?

  11. National Centres • Independent units of the whole network • Basically: mirroring sites • Translations of common contents coming from the Centre Point • Individual elements concerning the course (place, time, students, …) • Needs dynamic access to national servers

  12. National Points • Currently: only in Yugoslavia • Access to all common contents of the National Centre • Centralized communication through a National Bulletin Board • Individual elements concerning the course

  13. Contents of National Points • Two kinds of users: • teachers (administrators) and • Students (end users) • Relevant for all users: • all contents coming from the Centre site • student assignments and results (restricted) • local communication • site traffic

  14. Example of a dynamic DL site

  15. What is dynamic? • Bulletin Board • User lists • Individual assignments and deadlines • Solutions of the assignments • List of results • Bi-directional communication

  16. Benefits of MVNC • Virtual Classroom • International and multilingual • Joint Software Engineering module at (at least) three different schools • Possibility to start SE training and teaching without big efforts • Portability • Consequence: ECTS in SEE

  17. Extensions of MVNC • SE course in line with CC2001 standards • Transferable  pattern of a SE course • Joint workshop over the Internet (Misev, Plovdiv 2002) • Joint projects over the Internet (Zdravkova, Novi Sad 2001) • New local and international partners

  18. Future work • Completion of PPT slides • Translation to English and Bulgarian, Macedonian and Serbian (manually) • Extension / modification of SE education slide at HU • Creation of national mirroring sites with dynamic contents • Evaluation of the project

  19. Consequence • New DAAD project?
