Using the World Wide Web to promote software engineering education

As part of Motorola's efforts to establish PowerPC systems as the platform of choice in the industry, Motorola's RISC Software department provides software development tools and operating systems support for the PowerPC architecture. The department has responded with enthusiasm to Motorola's corporate software initiatives that strive to increase even further the quality of our software products. The World Wide Web was found to be a useful tool in the group's software engineering education efforts. The Web has helped remove many obstacles encountered on the road to implementing software quality initiatives. The paper discusses how the World Wide Web technology helped bridge various levels of communication gaps and at the same time served as a catalyst for improving and distributing the group's software engineering education efforts.
