Abstract

Project-based learning is a student-centered approach to instruction in which students work in teams to complete an open-ended project. It is ideally suited to the teaching of analysis, design and implementation, especially when using object-oriented analysis and design methods. This paper describes the use of project-based learning in a two course sequence on systems analysis, design and implementation and discusses the lessons learned from our experiences teaching these courses over the past five years.
