Abstract Details

2014, Master of Computer Science, Miami University, Computer Science and Software Engineering.
Design rationale documents the decision-making and reasoning that goes on when faced with a design problem. For students, this thought process often takes place mentally and with little documentation. This raises the interesting question of whether or not requiring documentation of design rationale would lead to improved decision-making and learning. In order to address this question, SEURAT_Edu was developed as a web-based rationale documentation and inferencing application. By requiring the use of SEURAT_Edu within course assignments at Miami University, meaningful data was collected and analyzed to determine the effectiveness of rationale documentation in student learning.
