Abstract

In this paper, we describe a blended learning process that is based on the agile development principles [1] and techniques [2] and supported by wikis. The process presented here is applicable to any learning and teaching scenario where the module objectives require development of non-cognitive skills such as: teamwork, giving and receiving feedback, collaborative writing, incremental and iterative development etc We believe that understanding agile principles and being able to apply agile techniques to any development activity are highly relevant skills that are important for the employability of our students.
