In-Class Teaching With Serious Games—Does Experience Matter
Contribution: This article provides evidence on the influence of serious games (SGs) in software engineering (SE) education on students’ scores, exam attendance, and chance of passing. It also highlights the impact of teachers’ experience with the implementation of SGs as a learning approach on the aforementioned metrics.Background: Although there are previous studies validating SGs in SE subjects, examining the effects that SGs and the expertise…
Effects of Gamification on the Benefits of Student Response Systems in Learning of Human Anatomy
This paper presents three experiments to assess the impact of gamifying an audience response system on the perceptions and educational performance of students. An audience response system called SIDRA (Immediate Audience Response System in Spanish) and two audience response systems with gamification features, R-G-SIDRA (gamified SIDRA with ranking) and RB-G-SIDRA (gamified SIDRA with ranking and badges), were used in a General and Descriptive Hum…
A Study on the Relationship between Usability of GUIs and Power Consumption of a PC
Usability is key to achieve quality in software products. The client applications with a high score in usability might impact on the power consumption when they are run in a PC. For this reason, energy savings turn to be critical in green software systems. In this paper the relationship between the usability evaluations of the GUIs and the power consumption measurements of the main components of a PC were analysed. A set of 5 web-based personal h…
Green IT and sustainable technology development
Green information technologies (GITs) constitute a field of research, whose objective is to reduce the environmental pollution caused by masses of people using and producing technology. This paper describes the search for literature related to GIT and technology sustainability in Scopus database. No restriction was imposed on the time period when carrying out the search. The data gathered revealed that the journal with the highest number of publi…
Effects of Using Requirements Catalogs on Effectiveness and Productivity of Requirements Specification in a Software Project Management Course
This paper presents the results of two educational experiments carried out to determine whether the process of specifying requirements (catalog-based reuse as opposed to conventional specification) has an impact on effectiveness and productivity in co-located and distributed software development environments. The participants in the experiments were 76 students enrolled in three courses on project management for software development at the Univer…
The London Charter and the Seville Principles as sources of requirements for e-archaeology systems development purposes
Requirements engineering (RE) is a discipline of critical importance in software development. This paper provides a process and a set of software artefacts to help in the production of e-archaeology systems with emphasis on requirements reuse and standards. In particular, two important guidelines in the field of earchaeology, the London Charter and the Principles of Seville, have been shown as two sources of requirements to be considered as a sta…
