Abstract

The Software Engineering Learning Facility (SELF) is a web-based environment designed to enhance learning the art of software development. The system consists of three components. The Practice component enables students to solve problems related to language constructs and algorithms. The Process component guides students through a waterfall model of software development, emphasizing product development and verification. The Performance component monitors progress and provides feedback for improving each student's personal software development process. This paper reports on the motivation and design of the system, the state of its implementation, and lessons learned.
