On the Use of Scrum in Project Driven Higher Education

摘要

The use of scrum development methodology to promote learning in project driven, interdisciplinary higher education courses in computer science is examined by using theoretical notations and recent research results from the literature. Moreover, empirical data will be gathered from a case study on a research focused, project driven undergraduate course in computer science. Our contribution is to initiate a discussion aiming at increasing the pedagogical awareness on the use of the scrum methodology to promote learning in higher education. Moreover, a further refined scrum method, adapted and more fine-tuned to suit the particular needs in the learning situation at university courses in technology, is proposed.
