occurs when professionals engage in actions in a coordinated wayover an extended period of time [26]. In other words, professionals in the same discipline share adisciplined perception, if they have “developed a noticing practice in which aspects across viewscan be coordinated to accomplish the tasks at hand” (p. 128). Steven and Hall further opined thatlearners could develop ‘disciplined perception’ when they interact with members of theirprofession or CoP so that their attention is focused on or guided to components of practice. Thisview is also supported by Wenger [27] who views knowledge “as distributed among people andthe communities of which they are a part” and that learning is achieved through meaningfulparticipation in the CoP.

By using assessment data toidentify needs, strengths, and interests, teachers can design relevant and engaging learningexperiences4.

Pioneering research by Light (Light, 2004) has also shown that the amount ofwriting in a course is more strongly linked to increased student engagement than any othercourse characteristic. So apart from the obvious practical importance that engineers should beable to write well, there is also substantial learning that takes place through the process ofthinking and planning that is required for good writing. The learning associated with writing issimilar to the learning associated with teaching, as both involve the organized communication of Page

Thetraditional group received written comments, while the VF group received videos of theinstructor manipulating their files with commentary. The data suggest that VF is at least aseffective as traditional feedback and may positively impact student skill acquisition. Utilizationdata shows that 83% of videos were viewed at least once.

They must also learn to navigate,understand, and contribute to real-world code, documentation, and diverse communities ofdevelopers, users, and other stakeholders. One effective way for students to develop suchknowledge, skills, and attitudes is to participate in Humanitarian Free & Open Source Software(HFOSS) projects. Research has shown that student participation in HFOSS projects has apositive impact on student motivation to study computing and a strong positive impact onperceived learning related to software engineering [1,2].

A compulsory first-year course, perceived as a difficult, „gatekeeper‟ course, was chosen for evaluation of theinitiative. Lack of student engagement in tutorials was perceived by the lecturers as asignificant barrier to improved student achievement. To encourage tutorial attendance andparticipation, students received a small number of marks for doing a (two-weekly) tutorialassignment, and marking another‟s, under the guidance of an academic staff member.Attendance at tutorial sessions consequently improved
