Initiated and sponsored by the Australian Computer Society and Rotary International, the school enabled 60 secondary students who were in the process of making decisions about tertiary study to spend three days participating in a variety of computer-related activities at The University of Queensland Department of Computer Science, and experiencing life as a university student. The students developed skills in programming in Smalltalk, and using information systems and Internet resources. In addition, they visited other departments on campus and companies in the city to see a variety of uses of IT. We hoped to give the students the opportunity to make an informed decision about their future careers. A follow-up survey in early 1997 revealed that 80% of the students felt that attendance at the school helped them with their post-school career decisions. This paper describes our experiences with running the school: The program, components, feedback, and future plans. It was a very rewarding and worthwhile experience: We hope that this paper will encourage other universities to attempt similar programs.","PeriodicalId":435916,"journal":{"name":"African Conference on Software Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129798620","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Attainment of academic goals however, can often be in conflict with attempts to realise administrative or business goals, as these may be perceived as being easily achieved through rationalisation of academic costs. The modern university must find a balance in the optimisation of these goals. This was recognised by (Cranitch 1991) “...with large numbers of students with different learning styles, there is a need to develop instructional arrangements that maximise student learning, while trying to minimise the cost in terms of time, effort and money”. Practically this may mean trying to maximise individual learning outcomes within very large classes, while trying to cope with the problems associated with large classes. One method of doing this is to reduce the logistic load or the management complexity of large classes, eg the PACE system (Oliver & Mitchell, 1996) for assessment management. Another is by automating some of the tasks related to student learning outcomes, eg the provision of consistent, adequate and timely feedback.","PeriodicalId":435916,"journal":{"name":"African Conference on Software Engineering","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131892246","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper we describe our experiences using a problem-based learning approach to teaching this material. This involved the students forming themselves into groups in order to tackle a series of related problems, each of which dealt with a specific area of the course. An integral part of this project is the technological support, which was used not only to monitor the progress of students through the course, but also to provide the necessary contextualisation of course PermIssion to make digital/hard copy of all or part of this work for personal or classroom use is granted without fee provided that apies are not made or diibuted for prom or commercial advantage, the copynght notice, the tile of the publication and its date appear, and notice is given that copying is by permission of ACM, Inc.
