Empirical Evidence Justifying the Adoption of a Model-Based Approach in the Course Web Applications Development - Borislav Roussev, JITE

Executive Summary: With the ever- increasing role of business people in software development there is a growing need for business schools to offer courses in e-business and e-commerce applications development. This paper presents the results of a student survey evaluating the applications development skills acquired by business students exposed to two different approaches to teaching the course E-business applications development. The first group was taught using a model-based approach, while the second one was taught using a traditional code-based approach. In the model-based approach the environment model of evaluation was used to introduce the basic programming constructs. The UML Web Modeler profile and statecharts were employed to abstract from the intricacies and the distributed nature of Web-based information systems.
