“…In [10], the author discusses how they applied an agile methodology in an academic environment, and provides insights for non-software industries on how agile is not a set of rigid rules, but a philosophy that can be applied to get maximally effective results with a mindset for continued change.…”

Abstract. In this paper we discuss how we at Alarcos Quality Center implemented AQCLab, the first laboratory in the world to be accredited as meeting ISO/IEC 17025 for software product quality evaluation based on the ISO/IEC 25000 series of standards. We implemented AQC Lab following agile principles by means of an adaptation of the Scrum methodology. This work method helped us to progress in a challenging context which had several similarities to software development, where the requirements were uncertain from the start.

Resumo: No Curso de Métodos Ágeis oferecido aos alunos de graduação da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, os professores decidiram que o modelo tradicional de educação não seria o mais adequado para o ensino de um assunto que quebra tantos paradigmas. Este artigo apresenta os quatro anos de experiência dos professores aplicando conceitos ágeis na disciplina de Métodos Ágeis para os alunos de graduação do curso de Informática. Nosso objetivo é demonstrar como o uso desses conceitos ajudou a criar um ambiente de aprendizagem estimulante e eficaz.Abstract: In the Agile Methods Discipline offered to undergraduate students of the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, the teachers decided that the traditional model of education would not be the most suitable way of teaching a subject that breaks so many paradigms. This paper presents the four years experience of the teachers applying agile concepts in the Agile Methods discipline. Our goal is to report how they use these concepts to create a stimulating and effective learning environment.

“…Indeed, ADDIE e-Learning projects suffer from major risk factors that could not be handled using pure implementation of ADDIE. In ADDIE model, no feedback from stakeholders is incorporated until the last phase of the project [19]. Hence, the major risk factor is the late change in requirements.…”

The introduction of e-Learning to higher education institutions has been evolving drastically. However, the quality of e-Learning becomes a central issue in order to provide all stakeholders with the necessary confidence to compete with traditional learning methods. Risk management plays a vital role in the successful implementation of e-Learning projects and in attaining high-quality e-Learning courses. Little research has been conducted about implementing risk management in e-Learning projects. This work proposes a quality assurance framework for e-Learning projects. This framework comprises a proactive risk management model that integrates risk management into the e-Learning process. This integration helps in obtaining high-quality e-Learning courses by preventing negative e-Learning risks from being materialized. The model is verified to evaluate its effectiveness through a Renewable Energy Course that was converted from a traditional face-to-face into e-Learning course. Quantitative and qualitative measures are performed to analyze the data collected through the implementation of the project. The results show that the proposed model is managed to mitigate the majority of probable risk factors leading to high-quality e-Courses development and delivery.236 | P a g e www.ijacsa.thesai.org Both success factors and possible failures together should be taken into account to increase the probability of project success. These possible failures are called risks. An e-Learning project inherits all types of risk factors encountered in Information System projects beside many other risks that are specific to e-Learning [11]. These factors might negatively affect the quality of the e-Learning course being developed and/or the learning outcomes, project schedule and/or resources. Many risk factors are associated with e-Learning projects [12]. These factors can be personal or dispositional, learning style, instructional, situational, organizational, content suitability, and technological [13]. In order to minimize their negative impact, these factors must be managed carefully [14]. Successful management of e-Learning risk factors would improve the quality of the e-Learning process and, consequently, the competitive advantage of the institution. Hence, Risk management should be the core competence in e-Learning projects.
