Work in Progress - Developing the Community of Software Engineering Educators

SWENET, the network community for software engineering education, is an NSF funded project to produce and organize high-quality materials supporting software engineering education. The project supports faculty members delivering software engineering degrees and also individual software engineering courses in other computing degrees. SWENET also seeks to foster the development of the community of software engineering educators. This paper discusses plans to continue this development beyond the period of the initial NSF grant. The paper begins with a summary of the SWENET efforts to create course materials and other SWENET activities. The paper also addresses future directions in developing shared course materials, and creation of permanent resources and mechanisms for interaction among software engineering educators
