Training students on mobile application development inherits the challenges of teaching software engineering where the target computer is a device that has a large number of features accessible by software. Furthermore, the most related experience in teaching students reveals difficulties in developing software engineering competencies. In this paper we present results from an iOS course held in a smart learning environment that adopted the Challenge Based Learning framework as the teaching methodology. Our results indicate that combining an active methodology along with an engaging environment can foster and improve software development learning.
This paper presents an investigation on how students' background, previous experience and teams composition may influence the teaching process on active learning environments. Using a survey we were able to get data from students that participated in a two-year mobile application development course. We have found indicatives that the timeframe of an activity and the composition of the teams can have an impact students individual perception regarding the project. Moreover, our results also present indicatives that the number of students participating in a project may impact the students perception of projects.

A indústria da Tecnologia da Informação (TI) ao longo dos anos vem necessitando uma alta demanda de profissionais qualificados. Entretanto, a Academia não consegue formar profissionais para suprir tal necessidade, gerando lacunas na relação entre Academia e Indústria. Desta forma, o objetivo desta pesquisa é identificar maneiras em que essas lacunas podem ser reduzidas e constatar a necessidade e importância de cursos de formação complementar no aperfeiçoamento do profissional de TI. Espera-se por meio desta pesquisa salientar o uso de cursos de formação complementar como estratégia efetiva para a redução da lacuna entre Academia e Indústria quanto a formação profissional.
