Abstract
The EPCoS project (Effective Project work in Computer Science) is working to map the range of project work practices and to generate insights into what characterises the contexts in which particular techniques are effective. In assembling a body of authentic examples, EPCoS aims to provide a resource that enables extrapolation and synthesis of new techniques. Structured resources and process models are essential tools for supporting responsiveness in the current climate of continual change: the rapid development of computer technology is demanding new range and flexibility in project work, and EPCoS's mapping of project-based teaching allows practitioners to respond to these changes. Moreover, EPCoS is examining the process by which practices are transferred between institutional contexts, with a view to identifying effective models of that process. In this paper, we describe EPCoS's work-in-progress and describe briefly how technology makes the catalogue easier to use, providing tailored access, fast selection and juxtaposition, and the potential for an extensible, updated, distributed resource.

Simulating a Software Engineering Apprenticeship
Although some professions require a period of internship, residency, or apprenticeship before marking an individual as a qualified member, software engineering does not. Universities have started offering curricula in software engineering, but many ...
Research on the Innovation of Blended English Teaching Mode Based on Superstar Platform in Higher Vocational Colleges
CIPAE 2021: 2021 2nd International Conference on Computers, Information Processing and Advanced EducationIn recent years, with the country's increasing attention to higher vocational education, many higher vocational colleges have made a certain degree of rectification in the teaching mode. English, as a key subject, was first rectified. With the ...
