Emily Mae Kaplitz – ProQuest LLC, 2024
There has been an increase of both neurodivergent students and enrollment in Computer Science programs in higher education. These increases have brought attention to two separate challenges: neurodivergent college students struggle more compared to their neurotypical peers and many students struggle in introductory computer science courses. This…

Rush, Daniel E.; Connolly, Amy J. – Journal of Information Systems Education, 2020
This paper presents a framework for teaching a complete, semester-long IT project management course with traditional PMI-based content (sans software development) while featuring Scrum as the organizing logic for accomplishing coursework. This framework adapts widely-used Scrum practices from industry for use in the classroom, including how to…

Pierrot, Laëtitia; Michel, Christine; Broisin, Julien; Guin, Nathalie; Lefevre, Marie; Venant, Rémi – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2021
Implementing remote and blended higher education courses motivated the design for new support services for autonomous learning. Thus, combining a competence-based approach and self-regulation, the COMPER project offers a service to be used in addition to the courses. It consists of a graphical presentation of the learners' competency profile…
