AB  -  AGILE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS OF A WEB-BASED APPLICATION    TO IMPROVE RETENTION OF HISPANIC STEM STUDENTS                                           ABSTRACTThis study describes the application of Agile system development process and itsaccomplishments on a web-based Teaching Assistant System (ViTAS). The ViTAS is developedto improve the retention rate of the students in a Hispanic-Serving Institution. In particular, thisproject focuses on the Agile system development process, which is a group of softwaredevelopment methodologies based on iterative, interactive, and incremental development, whererequirements and solutions evolve through collaboration between self-organizing and cross-functional teams. Also, the teaching assistant system is developed as a digital warehouse ofhomework assignments and students’ work in STEM courses. This system provides a homeworkassignments grading system for the students’ as well as instructors in STEM field and to providean interactive learning environment outside the class for the students. Using ViTAS, students areable to submit the assignments online, to engage in anonymous peer review, and to discuss withtheir peers. The students grading their peer assignments are beneficial as during the process ofgrading other’s work, the students get the opportunity to learn/review their own work/mistakes.Key words: Agile development, virtual teaching assistant system, anonymous peer review.
