Copyright 2016 ACM. There is increasing interest in the application of serious games for learning. Growth in the take-up of digital devices, e.g. smartphones and tablets, and their use for gaming provides new opportunities for mobile learning (m-learning). A serious game m-learning app for improving adult learners' apostrophe usage, called Apostrophe Power, has been developed. The research team, which consisted of software engineers and educationalists, encountered a number of discipline spanning issues while designing and developing this m-learning app. This paper overviews the issues encountered, the recommendations from recent literature and how the issues were ultimately addressed, exemplified in a case study. These lessons learnt offer insight for serious game development and highlight practical solutions for m-learning apps involving interdisciplinary teams.

© 2015 IEEE. The educational field has been greatly affected by the current revolution in ICT, especially the advancements made in the use of handheld devices such as smartphones with touch screen capabilities, which have become extremely popular among university students worldwide. Universities and educators have realised that using such devices in education can help to bridge the gap between the way students live and the way they learn as well as enrich the learning experience and tackle the problems students face. This trend has led to developing numerous educational mobile systems to support the teaching-learning process and to tackle the problems that students and instructors face. Hesitation, shyness and crowded classrooms are barriers that can discourage students from participating. This paper presents the perceptions of instructors and students of the interactive communication system CommEasy. This system was developed mainly to tackle a number of communication barriers that female students face in distance-learning classrooms and provide them with a convenient way to pose questions to instructors using their own handheld devices. Results of the evaluation show that students and instructors have a very positive attitude toward the role of CommEasy in supporting communication and participation and removing the barriers they face.

The use of Multi-touch interfaces for collaborative learning has received significant attention. Their ability to synchronously accommodate multiple users is an advantage in co-located collaborative design tasks. This paper explores the potential of Multi-touch interfaces in collaborative Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagramming by comparing them to a PC-based tool and evaluating the collaborative learning skills and level of physical interaction in both conditions. The results indicate that even though participants conversed more in the PC-based condition, the use of the Multi-touch table increased the level of physical interaction and encouraged "creative conflict" skills amongst the team members. © ISLS.

© 2001 IEEE. Software maintenance is one of the most expensive and time-consuming phases in the software life-cycle. The size and complexity of commercial applications probably present the greatest difficulty that maintainers face when making changes to their applications. As a result of the corresponding loss of understanding, business knowledge encapsulated within the system becomes fragmented, and any changes made as a result of new business initiatives become difficult to implement and hence may mean a loss of business opportunities. The paper outlines an approach to regaining understanding of software which has been used in the Release project at Durham University. This approach involves determining the calling structure of a program in terms of a call-graph, and from this call-graph extracting a dominance tree. Various problems which have been encountered during the construction of tools to perform this task are described.

Software Clustering and Concept Analysis are two types of technique that can be used to determine the structure of a software system. This position paper proposes the use of such techniques to aid the study of software evolution. Basic Software Clustering and Concept Analysis techniques are described. By applying these techniques to different versions of a software system, it is possible that evolutionary trends over the lifetime of the system could be discovered. Work is proposed that will attempt to establish whether this is the case.
