Abstract
Establishing a distance education (DE) program in software engineering (SE) is an intricate task. Educators must deal with technology, people, organizations, states, countries, intellectual property, billing, course content, course delivery, evaluation, etc. The team must put all the pieces together into a coherent, efficient system and support a new production for every course run. Of these educational intricacies, my professional focus has been on pedagogy--the art and science of teaching. Here, I articulate and justify a set of pedagogical guidelines for DE in SE based on literature and my professional experience.
