A chapter in Software Engineering Education for a Global E-Service Economy, 2014, pp 101-108 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The series of CEISEE symposia has been largely focused on honours undergraduate and postgraduate software degree programmes. But the themes involved apply with equal emphasis and measure to programmes leading to ordinary level degrees or traditional technician level programmes, which normally have a heavy practical component. This chapter presents a recent initiative to present a month-long workshop on these themes at Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT) to some 25 teachers from a number of polytechnic colleges from the Beijing area and organised through the Institute for Vocational and Adult Education (IVEA) of the Beijing Academy of Educational Sciences and the Beijing Information Technology College (BITC).
