Two entries were named the Premier Courseware of 2009 at the Frontiers in Education Conference:
CATME/Team-Maker and
SimSE.
The Comprehensive Assessment of Team Member Effectiveness (CATME)/Team-Maker, by Matthew W. Ohland, Richard A. Layton, Misty L. Loughy, Lisa M. Bullard, Richard M. Felder, Cynthia J. Finelli and Douglas G. Schmucker,
was developed to use peer evaluations and self evaluations to assess how effectively each team member contributes to a team. CATME/Team-Maker provides a simple way to assess team members' performance in five areas that
research has found to be very important for effective team functioning.
SimSE, by André van der Hoek and Emily Navarro, is an educational software engineering simulation environment whose goal is to bridge the gap between the
large amount of conceptual software engineering knowledge given to students in lectures and the comparably small amount of this they actually get to put into practice
in an associated "toy" software engineering project. SimSE allows students to practice a "virtual" software engineering process (or sub-process) in a fully graphical,
interactive, and fun setting in which direct, graphical feedback enables them to learn the complex cause and effect relationships underlying the processes of software engineering.
When you have experienced the Premier Courseware of 2009, we invite you to submit your comments.
