Software Engineering Competence-Based Learning in Collaborative Virtual Environments

Abstract

Educational entities must face changes which impact directly on the traditional academic model: the ICT´s impact in education and, the advance in the global field of Competency Based Learning (CBL). Transforming the face-to-face courses into virtual ones, requires all the educational nstitutions to face new challenges: getting teachers to become familiar with the CBL model and, together with students, promoting the ability to adapt to change. In this paper, the creation of a face-to-face course using the CBL model is presented and a plan to transform it into a virtual course is proposed.
