Online education has seen an enormous growth in the last few years. In this paper we describe the design of three project-centric Software Engineering courses in an undergraduate software engineering program to be delivered online. The study examined three courses offered in face-to-face and online environments. The course goals, structure, learning objectives, and assessments were exactly the same. The courses were designed with hands-on and project-based activities in a cooperative learning environment using a Software enterprise pedagogical model. The paper presents a comparison of student performance on various course outcomes, working in teams, success/failure rates and lessons learned from translating a face-to-face course into an online course. These results can be useful to other educators and institutions in how to improve student learning outcomes and learner satisfaction in online environments and further improve quality of online course offerings.Keywords

A well-designed and constructed course plan or curriculum is an integral part of the foundation of effective STEM instruction. This paper presents a framework for outcome-based course design that can be translated into a semantic web-based toolwhich guides STEM educators through the complex task of curriculum design, ensures tight alignment between various components of a course (i.e., learning objectives, content, assessments, and pedagogy), and provides relevant information about research-based pedagogical and assessment strategies. This framework has been applied to the design of "Object-OrientedSoftware Development" course and the results are presented.Keywords
