摘要
The Open University's Computing Department offers specialized master's programs in software development and in the management of software projects. The OU characterizes these professionally accredited programs as part-time, open, and large-scale distance learning primarily aimed at IT practitioners. These characteristics guide the development of the software engineering curriculum. Although focused on the OU's particular experiences, the article also outlines broader lessons learned that might benefit other institutions engaged in designing and delivering software engineering curricula to a geographically distributed student body.
