Poster: Challenge-Based Learning: A Brazilian Case Study

Mobile application development (MAD) has became, or is considering to be a part of the academic curricula in Computer Science courses. However, training students on mobile application development inherits the challenges of teaching software engineering where the target computer is a device that has a large number of features accessible by software. Furthermore, the most related experience in teaching students reveals di culties in developing software engineering competencies. In this paper we present results from a case study conducted in four universities in Brazil. We have investigated the adoption of Challenge-Based Learning (CBL) framework and agile practices for training students in software engineering applied in mobile application development environments.
