Work in Progress: Adapting eduScrum to the Online Teaching Format

The main idea of agile processes is that they focus on short loops with fast feedback, instead of lengthy projects only evaluated in the end. The agile principles show a lot of promising features, which could be used also in the teaching-learning process, e.g. in the engagement of students. Therefore, the agile manifesto has been successfully mapped to the educational context, giving rise to the pedagogical approach eduScrum. Early applications of eduScrum took place in schools, but it has also been adapted to suit tuition at university level as well. In this paper, we discuss the application of eduScrum in a data science course at university level, both with respect to the face-to-face setting and the current online tuition. We especially focus on challenges and opportunities with the transition of eduScrum to the online environment. Findings in the first in-class usage of the online-taught eduScrum approach are presented.
