title = "It's Not What You Think: Lessons Learned Developing an Online Software Engineering Program",
abstract = "Online education comes in various flavors - skills centered short-duration training, massively open online courses (MOOCs), and more recently, the offering of full online degree programs. In the past 4 years at Arizona State University, the faculty created an online software engineering degree program equivalent to an existing on-campus program, and produced its first graduates in Spring 2017. The challenges in creating this program were significant, but surprisingly the main challenges were not the ones that the faculty anticipated at the outset of the program's development. This paper shares the lessons learned from the development of the online degree program, with an emphasis on the gap between faculty expectations and fears versus the actual issues that needed to be addressed.",
