Can Programmers do Course Design?

The Programmer

The Course

The Problem

Ah-Ha This is a software engineering course. Why not see if there are some software engineering tools that will help me.

Use Cases

System actor A use case X actor B use case Y A use Case Diagram

System Customer buy Salesman sell repair Technician

Customer buy Individual Use Case What state is required for this use case? * the store must be open What resources are required for this use case? * there must be some inventory to sell What is the sequence of actions that occur?

How could I apply this idea to course design? Actor: Student Use Case: A topic to cover

Course Student GUI design patterns User Centered Design Interaction Design Layout Guidelines Establishing Requirements Modelling Users Low Fidelity Protoypes Observing Users Evaluating the GUI

CRC Cards

for example, a car has attributes * it is black * it has a 200 hp engine * it has 2 doors * it was built in 1943 * etc it also has behaviors * when you turn the key it starts * when you press the brake it stops * when you push the horn it beeps * etc object-oriented programming encapsulates the data and the functions that operate on that data into an object.

the blueprint used to create objects is called a class.

CRC Cards class name Responsibilities Collaborators
