Conference Object Citation Count: 1Creating Smarter Teaching and Training Environments: Innovative Set-Up for Collaborative Hybrid Learning(Ios Press, 2016) Serçe, Fatma Cemile; Maia, Cristiano; Loomes, Martin; Serce, Fatma C.; Swigger, Kathleen; Brazile, Robert; Milewski, Allen; Information Systems EngineeringThis paper brings together previous work from a number of research projects and teaching initiatives in an effort to introduce good practice in setting up supportive environments for collaborative learning. The paper discusses prior use of social media in learning support, the role of dashboards for learning analytics in Global Software Development training, the use of optical head-mounted displays for feedback and the use of NodeXl visualization in managing distributed teams. The scope of the paper is to provide a structured approach in organizing the creation of smarter teaching and training environments and explore ways to coordinate learning scenarios with the use of various techniques. The paper also discusses challenges from integrating multiple innovative features in educational contexts. Finally the paper attempts to investigate the use of smart laboratories in establishing additional learning support and gather primary data from blended and hybrid learning pilot studies.Conference Object Citation Count: 5Using data analytics for collaboration patterns in distributed software team simulations(Ieee, 2016) Serçe, Fatma Cemile; Serce, Fatma C.; Swigger, Kathleen; Brazile, Robert; Alpaslan, Ferda N.; Lopez, Victor; Milewski, Allen; Information Systems EngineeringThis paper discusses how previous work on global software development learning teams is extended with the introduction of data analytics. The work is based on several years of studying student teams working in distributed software team simulations. The scope of this paper is twofold. First it demonstrates how data analytics can be used for the analysis of collaboration between members of distributed software teams. Second it describes the development of a dashboard to be used for the visualization of various types of information in relation to Global Software Development (GSD). Due to the nature of this work, and the need for continuous pilot studies, simulations of distributed software teams have been created with the participation of learners from a number of institutions. This paper discusses two pilot studies with the participation of six institutions from two different countries.
