Paper Abstract:
|
This paper presents the project ReProTool which has been selected to be co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund and the Republic of Cyprus through the Research Promotion Foundation. The project entails the development and pilot use of ReProTool, a software tool that will support the design and development of university academic programmes using Learning Outcomes and the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) of the Bologna Process. A rapid prototype of ReProTool has already been developed by the authors of this paper in order to exemplify the functionality of the proposed tool. This prototype will be utilized within the more traditional waterfall lifecycle development approach that will be used within this project to create a fully functioning tool. The paper briefly describes the developed prototype and the various stages of the project namely (a) Identification of User and System Requirements, (b) System Analysis and Design, (c) Software Development, (d) Testing and Beta Release and (e) Pilot Use and Public Release. |
