Abstract

Delivering a software engineering curriculum by distance learning requires innovative and flexible approaches to presenting and managing the learning materials. At the Open University, we´ve been offering a broadly based master´s degree in Computing for Commerce and Industry by distance learning for over 20 years. The Open University´s SE curriculum and delivery mechanisms are shaped by its commitment to offering professionally accredited part-time, open, and large-scale distance learning primarily aimed at IT practitioners
