| Abstract | Industry-practiced agile methods must become an integral part of a software engineering curriculum. It is essential that graduates of such programs seeking careers in industry understand and have positive attitudes toward agile principles. With this knowledge they can participate in agile teams and apply these methods with minimal additional training. However, learning these methods takes experience and practice, both of which are difficult to achieve in a direct manner within the constraints of an academic program. This paper presents a novel, immersive boot camp approach to learning agile software engineering concepts with LEGO® bricks as the medium. Students construct a physical product while inductively learning the basic principles of agile methods. The LEGO®-based approach allows for multiple iterations in an active learning environment. In each iteration, students inductively learn agile concepts through their experiences and mistakes. Subsequent iterations then ground these concepts, visibly leading to an effective process. We assessed this approach using a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods. Our assessment shows that the students demonstrated positive attitudes toward the boot-camp approach compared to lecture-based instruction. However, the agile boot camp did not have an effect on the students' recall on class tests when compared to their recall of concepts taught in lecture-based instruction. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
