Using agile methods to scaffold team projects in an it ethics course

We describe an effort to revise the scaffolding used for a final group project in a technology ethics course. In past semesters, groups usually produced a good final product, but often with much chaos, drama, and intervention from the instructor. We discuss the use of Agile methods to revise the project scaffold in an effort to improve the group project experience for students and instructors. The application of Agile to a wider range of projects also offers an opportunity for computing educators to share their knowledge of Agile with peers in other fields.
