Agile model adaptation for e-learning students' final-year project

The final-year project (FYP) is considered as an essential part of a Computer Science degree. FYP plays a key role in preparing the students to meet the industrial expectations. In e-learning scenario lack of coordination among students and limited student-supervisor interaction often leads to poor quality projects and inadequate learning. To enhance students' skills and quality of the projects this paper suggests an Agile-Scrum model for the development phase of FYP. The effectiveness of the Agile-Scrum model on student project quality and e-learning has been compared with the in-practice Waterfall model at Virtual University of Pakistan (VU). The proposed model has increased students' involvement, coordination and student-supervisor interaction in FYP.
