Abstract :
This paper discusses a pedagogical development project (called ABoLT - Al Baha optimizing Learning and Teaching) in engineering and computer science at Al Baha University (ABU) in Saudi Arabia. It is jointly run between ABU and the Uppsala Computing Education Research Group (UpCERG), Uppsala University (UU) in Sweden, as a mutual learning project. It is based in research in learning in engineering and computing education research. In the project we develop intellectual tools aimed to empower the teachers at ABU, and thereby their faculty and the university as a whole.
